f'(x_0)=\lim\limits_{h\to0}\dfrac{f(x_0+h)-f(h)}{h}=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}\\\\f(x)=\dfrac{6}{x};\ x_0=2\\\\subtitute\\\\f'(2)=\lim\limits_{x\to2}\dfrac{\frac{6}{x}-\frac{6}{2}}{x-2}=\lim\limits_{x\to2}\dfrac{\frac{6}{x}-3}{x-2}=\lim\limits_{x\to2}\dfrac{\frac{6-3x}{x}}{x-2}=\lim\limits_{x\to 2}\dfrac{6-3x}{x(x-2)}\\\\=\lim\limits_{x\to2}\dfrac{-3(x-2)}{x(x-2)}=\lim\limits_{x\to2}\dfrac{-3}{x}=-\dfrac{3}{2}=-1.5\\\\\\An swer:\boxed{f'(2)=-1.5}
