Question

Find the slope of the line tangent to the function y=6-3x at the point (5,0)

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

To get the slope of the line tangent to the function y = 6 - 3x

First, we need to differentiate;

dy/dx = 0 -3x^{1-1}

dy/dx = 0 - 3x^0

dy/dx = 0 - 3

dy/dx = -3

Hence the slope of the line tangent to the function at the point is -3
