find the points on the graph f(x)= x^2-5x+1where the slope is -1 I came up with (-1,-5), is it right?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

No, it's not. Take the first derivative, set it to -1, and find the x-value of the point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x-5=-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, -1,-3?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

2x-5=-1 gives you x=-1???
