passing through (6,2) and tangent to the line x-4y-15=0 at (3,-3)

OpenStudy (javk):

-first of all make `y` the subject of the formula -then differentiate the curve to get `dy/dx` -substitute `x value` of the meeting point of the curve with your tangent (in this case `x=3`, in your `dy/dx`, this is the gradient of your tangent - recall `y=mx+c` where mis the gradient -since your line passes through the point `(6,2)` substitute x=6 and y=2 -solve for c now your equation is complete
