Question

PLEASE HELP ME!! Using the slope from part (b), find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P(3, 4).

Equation: y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=4

Plug in numbers: y-(-4)=4(x-3) = y+4=4x-12

Final answer: y=4x-16. My answer is wrong according to webassign.

Explanation / Answer

Using the slope from part (b), find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P(3, 4).

We know that the Equationof tangent line : y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=4

Plug in numbers: y-(-4) = 4(x-3)

so y+4 = 4x-12

y = 4x-16

so 4x-y = 16

your calculation is right but web assign wants the different form .
