How do you write the slope of the line tangent to #g(x)=3/2x+1# at the point (-2,2)? Calculus Derivatives Tangent Line to a Curve 1 Answer Steve M Nov 22, 2016 #3/2# Explanation: #g(x)# is a straight line and comparing with the standard equation #y=mx+c# we see that #m=3/2#, so the gradient of the tangent is constant and is #3/2# everywhere on #g# Answer link Related questions How do you find the equation of a tangent line to a curve?
