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
= -
= -

Answer: No, this isn't a function.</h3>
Why not? Focus on the two points (0,2) and (0,4)
We have the x value x = 0 show up twice. Any time x repeats itself like this, it leads to "not a function" as the result.
In other words, the input x = 0 leads to multiple outputs y = 2 and y = 4 at the same time. A function is only possible if every x input leads to exactly one y output.
If you are a visual learner, then plot all of the points on the same xy grid. Then notice how (0,2) and (0,4) fail the vertical line test to show we don't have a function.
Side note: The y values can repeat themselves in a function.
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:

-6, all of them are the absolute value of 6 or just 6, -6 isn't equivalent to 6.
