(1 point) Consider the curve
y= 22 - 2x +6.
(a) Find the slope of the secant line to the curve through the points P =(4, 14) and Q = (4+h, (4 + h)? – 2(4 + h) +6).
The slope of the secant line is
(b) Use your answer from part (a) to find the slope of the curve at the point P.
The slope of the curve at P is
