The derivative of
in the direction of a vector
is

With
, we get

and
,

Then

Answer: y= - 4x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: y=mx+b
***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.
m=
3= x1
2= x2
6= y1
10=y2
m=
=
= -4
m=-4
Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.
You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:
(3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.
(2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.
Equation of the line: y=-4x+18
For #8, it's approximately 2.5
