Q. Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of 7y3−y2−11=x at (−5,1).
Find Derivative with Implicit Differentiation: First, we need to find the derivative of the equation with respect to x to get the slope formula. Since the equation is implicitly defined, we use implicit differentiation.
Solve for dxdy: Now, solve for dxdy to find the slope of the tangent line.
Substitute y=1: Substitute y=1 into the derivative to find the numerical value of the slope at the point (−5,1).
