GIven:


f(x)=-5x+7

Required:

To find the value of


(f(x+h)-f(x))/(h),h\\e0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of f(x+h) we have to substitute (x+h) in the function f(x) instead of 'x'

The simplify with the given question.


\begin{gathered} f(x+h)=-5(x+h)+7_{} \\ =-5x-5h+7 \end{gathered}

Simplifying for the value,


\begin{gathered} (f(x+h)-f(x))/(h)=(-5x-5h+7-(-5x+7))/(h) \\ =(-5x-5h+7+5x-7)/(h) \\ =(-5h)/(h) \\ =-5 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:


(f(x+h)-f(x))/(h)=-5
