Question

What is the slope of the tangent to the curve $$x = {t^2} + 3t - 8,\,y = 2{t^2} - 2t - 5$$       at $$t = 2\,?$$

A. $$\frac{7}{6}$$
B. $$\frac{6}{7}$$  
C. $$1$$
D. $$\frac{5}{6}$$
Answer :   $$\frac{6}{7}$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 2t + 3,\,\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 4t - 2 \cr & \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}}}{{\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}}} = \frac{{4t - 2}}{{2t + 3}} \cr & {\text{slope at }}t = 2 = \frac{{\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}}}{t} = 2 = \frac{{4\left( 2 \right) - 2}}{{2\left( 2 \right) + 3}} = \frac{6}{7} \cr} $$
