Answer:

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points;

(-2,5) and (3,4)

Find:

Equation of slope

Computation:

y = mx + b

5 = m(-2) + b

5 = -2m + b .......... Eq1

4 = m(3) + b

4 = 3m + b .......... Eq2

Eq2 - Eq1

-1 = 5m

m = -1/5

5 = -2m + b

5 = -2(-1/5) + b

5 = 2/5 + b

b = 23/5

y = mx + b

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = 3 - 4t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 8 by finding the derivativ

zysi [14]

For this case, we have that the equation of the position is given by:
$s (t) = 3 - 4t
$
To find the velocity, we must derive the equation from the position.
We have then:
$s' (t) = - 4
$
Then, we evaluate the derivative for time t = 8.
We have then:
$s' (8) = - 4$
Answer:
the instantaneous velocity at t = 8 is:
$s' (8) = - 4$
