Question

Determine the slope of the curve defined by the equation:
f(x) = -2 x^2 + ( 2 )
when x = -2.
The slope of the curve when x = -2 is m = .

Answer 1

-4x=-4*(-2)=8

Answer 2

Don't they teach you how to take derivatives? Dude, come on read the textbook, don't embarrass our school, its reputation is bad enough. Slope of the tangent at a point is the first derivative evaluated at that point.
