Test Definition of Derivatives and Slope of Tangent Lines

Find the slope of the tangent line at x=2 for the function f(x) = 3x² - 5.

This is a line that touches the function at a given point and has a slope that is equal to the instantaneous rate of change at a given point.

Find the derivative of the given function
f(x) = 7

If a function has a derivative that is negative, what does that tell you?
