Using the product rule, we have
so that
The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).
When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and
<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7) ==> <em>y</em> = 4.5
means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.
The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.
Then
I do not know what point is you trying to find
I also need this answer so when you find out let me know
Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
formula: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Step-by-step explanation:
General:
1. find 2 points directly on the line and apply the formula y2-y1 over x2-x1 this answer equals m
2. then add it into the formula y-y1 = m(x-x1) remember x and y are variables so only put numbers in y1 and x1
3. solve the problem
Example:
line 1:
1. y2-y1 over x2-x1 is 4-6 over 6-4 = -1
2. y-6 = -1(x-(-4) or y-6 = -1(x+4)
3. y-6 = -1x-4
4. y = -1x-2
3. the gradient equals: y = -1x-2
Hope this helps :) Let me know if you need a better example
