The slope of the function to 3 dp is 0.280
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
