Q. Find the slope of the tangent line to g(x)=x at x=−5.Write your answer as an integer or a fraction. Simplify any fractions.____
Identify Function & Point: Identify the function and the point where the slope is needed.Function: g(x)=xPoint: x=−5
Determine Derivative of g(x): Determine the derivative of g(x), since the derivative represents the slope of the tangent line at any point x. Derivative of g(x) = 1 (since the derivative of x with respect to x is 1)
Evaluate Derivative at x=−5: Evaluate the derivative at x=−5 to find the slope of the tangent line at that point.Slope at x=−5: 1 (since the derivative is constant and equals 1)
