The slope of tangent to the curve \(x=t^2+3 t-8, y=2 t^2-2 t-5\) at the point (2, -1) is:

  1. A \(\frac{22}{7}\)
  2. B \(-\frac{6}{7}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{6}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{6}{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{dx}{dt} = 2t + 3 \) \( \frac{dy}{dt} = 4t - 2 \) \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{4t - 2}{2t + 3} \) \( t^2 + 3t - 8 = 2 \Rightarrow t^2 + 3t - 10 = 0 \Rightarrow (t-2)(t+5)=0 \Rightarrow t=2 \text{ or } t=-5 \)…
