X + x - 5 + 3x + 25 = 180
5x + 20 = 180
5x = 160
x = 32
m<F = x - 5
m<F = 32 - 5
m<F = 27
Answer:
the slope is 23/1
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=1/x solve for x
x=1/y now reverse lables...
y=1/x
Yes that is the same equation you started with. What that means is the the inverse function in this case produces the same exact graph :)

To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.

The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).

The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.
The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so

Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).

So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:
