Consider the parabola y = 6x − x2.

(a) Find the slope of the tangent line to the parabola at the point (1, 5)

4 answers

the slope of the tangent is equal to the 1st derivative

slope = 6 - 2x

sub in 1 in the x and the 5 in the y

no, ghost ... y is not a factor in the slope equation

okok now i get it
