Question

HELPPP! MEDALS AWARDED The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = -2 - 6t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 by finding the derivative

Answer 1

so you want to find ds/dt evaluated at t=2

Answer 2

finding ds/dt is easy since s is just a line
you don't even need to know about the word derivative here
ds/dt is the slope of your line

Answer 3

okay how would i set that up would you mind showing me the process etc. @myininaya

Answer 4

the slope of f(x)=mx+b is m

Answer 5

so you should be able to tell me the slope of your line
it is aftet all in slope-yintercept form
