tangent of y= 2/x ,(4, 1/2)

tangent of

y = \frac{2}{x}, (4, \frac{1}{2})

y = - \frac{1}{8} x + 1

Solution steps

Find the slope of

y = \frac{2}{x} : \frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{2}{x ^{2}}

EN : T i tl e G e n er a l Eq u a t i o n Sl o p e A t P o in t 2 Eq : m = - \frac{1}{8}

Find the line with slope m=

- \frac{1}{8}

and passing through

(4, \frac{1}{2}) : y = - \frac{1}{8} x + 1

y = - \frac{1}{8} x + 1
