Explanation:

The slope of the tangent line of a function f(x) is the derivative, f'(x).

Here, we can use exponent rule to find the derivatives:

If y = xⁿ, then y' = nxⁿ⁻¹.

7. g(x) = x²

g'(x) = 2x

g'(2) = 4

8. g(x) = x² − 4x

g'(x) = 2x − 4

g'(1) = -2

9. g(x) = 5/(x + 3)

g(x) = 5 (x + 3)⁻¹

g'(x) = -5 (x + 3)⁻²

g'(-2) = -5
