First, substitute x=3 to the function to get the value of y.
y |
= |
ln(5x+5) |
|
= |
ln(5(3)+5) |
Substitute known values |
|
= |
ln20 |
To find the slope, find the derivative of the function then substitute the value of x
m |
= |
y’ |
|
|
= |
f′(x)f(x) |
y’=f′(x)f(x) |
|
|
= |
f′(5x+5)5x+5 |
Substitute known values |
|
|
= |
55(x)+5 |
Differentiate 5x+5 |

Simplify |
Next, substitute the components to the point gradient formula.
y-y1 |
= |
m(x-x1) |
|
y-ln20 |
= |
14(x-3) |
Substitute known values |
|
(y-ln20)×4 |
= |
(14(x-3))×4 |
Multiply both sides by 4 |
|
4y-4ln20 |
= |
x-3 |
4y-4ln20-x+3 |
= |
0 |

To find the slope, find the derivative of the function then substitute the value of x
m |
= |
y’ |
|
= |
f′(x)⋅ef(x) |
y’=f′(x)ef(x) |
|
= |
f′(2x)⋅e2x |
Substitute known values |
|
= |
2⋅e2x |
Differentiate 2x |
|
= |
2e2(2) |
Substitute known values |
|

Next, substitute the components to the point gradient formula.
y-y1 |
= |
m(x-x1) |
y-e4 |
= |
2e4(x-2) |
Substitute known values |
y-e4 |
= |

Distribute |
y-e4 +e4 |
= |
2xe4-4e4 +e4 |
Add e4 to both sides |
y |
= |
2xe4-3e4 |
