Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of -2y + 8x^2 = -7x + 9y^2 - 29 at (2,-3)
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:Take the derivative of all terms with respect to x:-2(dy/dx) + 16x = -7 + 18y(dy/dx). Grouping the (dy/dx) terms on the left, we get:(dy/dx)(-2 - 18y) = -7 - 16x, or -7 - 16xdy/dx = ------------------ -2(1 + 18y)Substituting 2 for x and -3 for y, we obtain the desired derivative: -7 - 16x -7 - 32 -39dy/dx = ------------------ = --------------- = ----------- = -0.368 -2(1 + 18y) -2(1 - 54) 106
