y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)

You need to find "m" and "b"


For lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the same.

The given line's slope is 1/2, so the parallel line's slope is also 1/2.

y = 1/2x + b

To find "b", you can plug in the point (10, -5) into the equation.

y = 1/2x + b

-5 = 1/2(10) + b

-5 = 5 + b    Subtract 5 on both sides to get "b" by itself

-10 = b


y = 1/2x - 10    Your answer is D (you could have just found the slope to get your answer, since all the slopes are different)

Use the definition of the derviative to compute the derivative of f(x)= 1- 7x^2 at the specific point x=2.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

f'(x) = -28 \ at  \ x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f'(2) =  \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{f(2+h)) -f(2)}{h} \\\\f(2+h) = 1 - 7(2+h)^2 = 1 - 7(4 +h^2 +4h) = 1 - 28 - 7h^2 - 28h = - 7h^2 -28h - 27\\\\f(2) = 1 - 7(2^2) = 1 - 28 = -27\\\\f(2+h) - f(2) = -7h^2 - 28h - 27 - (-27) = -7h^2 -28h -27 + 27 = -7h^2 -28h\\\\f'(2) =   \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{-7h^2 - 28h}{h} \\\\

       = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h(-7h -28)}{h}\\\\= \lim_{h \to 0} (-7h -28)}\\\\= -7 (0) - 28\\\\= -28
