Answer:
slope = -
Step-by-step explanation:
Differentiating implicitly with respect to x
2x + 2y = 0
2y = - 2x
= -
= -
is the measure of the slope of the tangent
rearrange equation to find corresponding y-coordinate of x = - 2
y² = 16 - 4 = 12 = 2 ⇒ y = ± 2
using x = - 2, y = - 2, then
= -
= -
First you must acknowledge that you are dealing with a line therefore you must write linear equation or linear function in this case.
Linear function has a form of,
Then calculate the slope <em>m</em> using the coordinates of two points. Let say <em>A(x1, y1)</em> and <em>B(x2, y2)</em>,
Now pick a point either <em>A</em> or <em>B</em> and insert coordinates of either one of them in the linear equation also insert the slope you just calculated, I will pick point <em>A</em>.
From here you solve the equation for n,
So you have slope <em>m</em> and variable <em>n</em> therefore you can write down the equation of the line,
Hope this helps.
