Answer

-48

-12

4

16

Answer 1

Now wait a minute. Try this one yourself first.

Answer 2

not exactly sure how to solve it...... do i use the tangent line equation f(c+change in x)................???

Answer 3

Exactly the same way I did the ellipse.

Answer 4

find dy/dx, the slope
call it m at the given point
use the point in the equation to find b in y = m x + b

Answer 5

k thanks soooo much!!!
