The equation of the tangent line can be found using slope formula and fact that slope = dy/dx.

where (x0,y0) is point A ---> (0,-1)
Then rearrange equation into slope-intercept form:

Finally sub in x=0 into dy/dx to get slope at the point (0,-1)
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
This man is cutting 6.5 ft of wood into pieces that are .75 ft long.
Divide 6.5/.75 and there's ur answer chief
Yes; this is a linear function because you plug in a number and multiply it by two, so the function would be y=2x, which is linear despite the fact that it lacks a b value.
Hope this helps! :)
