The solution to your problem is as follows:

The tangent line passes through (4,-6), so x = 4 when y = -6 

=> f(4) = -6 

The tangent line will have a constant gradient. 

gradient is m = (-6 - 9)/(4 - 10) => 5/2

Equation is y - 9 = (5/2)(x - 10) 

=> y - 9 = (5/2)(x-10) 

<span>i.e. y = (5/2)(x-10) + 9 
</span>      y = (5/2)x - 25 + 9 =   y = (5/2)x - 16

Now, f '(x) = dy/dx = 5/2

so, f '(4) = 5/2....i.e. gradient is 5/2 whatever the value of x. 


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

the sale price of a pair of pants is 65% of te regular price of $25. How much so you save by buying the pants on sale?
zysi [14]
$25 times 0.65 = $16.25 & then you do $25 - $16.25 which equals $8.75. So you save $8.75 by buying the pants on sale.
