Given:
[tex]f(x)=3-5x[/tex]
Point: (-1, 8)
Let's find the slope of the tangent line.
To find the slope of the tangent line, differentiate the parent function to find the derivative.
We have:
Thus, we have:
SInce -5 which is a constant is the derivative of the function and there is no variable, the slope of the tangent line is = -5
ANSWER:
-5
