The slope of the function to 3 dp is 0.280

Slope of a function

Slope is also known as the gradient of a function

Given the function [tex]f(x) =\frac{7}{x}[/tex]

Taking the derivative of the function will give:

[tex]f'(x)=-\frac{7}{x^2}[/tex]

Substitute x = 5 into the equation to have:

[tex]f'(x)=-\frac{7}{5^2}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = -\frac{7}{25}[/tex]

Hence the slope of the function to 3 dp is 0.280
