Question
Find an equation of the line that is tangent to the graph of $f$ and parallel to the given line.Function $\quad$ Line$f(x)=x^{2} \quad 2 x-y+1=0$
Step 1
We can rewrite this in slope-intercept form to find the slope of the line. The slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. So, we have $y = 2x + 1$. The slope of this line is $2$. Show more…
