Slope problem

[rapid glacier]

i had this problem in my hw that i was stuck not knowing what to find exactly, any ideas?

It looks like you're learning about derivatives. Do you know how to compute the limit given in the problem statement?

If not, can you show how you set up the limit?

im only struggling at part b cause i don't know what is needed

Ah

@rapid glacier the formula of a line is y = mx + b, right?

You know m, now you just need to find b

But you also have one more piece of information

Which is that the line passes through a particular point (x, y) = (-1, -4)

So you know an x, y pair, and you know m, so you can just solve for b
