I would be more than delighted to give a medal to somebody who can help me solve this! Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of y = g(x) at x = 6 if g(6) = −4 and g'(6) = 5. (Enter your answer as an equation in terms of y and x.)

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u already have all the information needed: the tangent line at \((a,f(a))\) is given by \[ \large y-f(a)=f'(a)\cdot(x-a) \]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

this is basically a line that goes through the point (6, -4) and has a slope of 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I just need somebody to help me verify my solution; y=5x-24

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

y=5x-24 is not correct - the solution you messaged me is correct
