Formula Used:
Slop of a straight line:
Point slop form of a straight line:
Here
Draw the graph of the derivatives. Use the data’s of the given table
The derivatives represents a linear function. Thus it must contain a slop.
Consider any two points on the line.
Let two points be
Now, calculate the slop. Use the slop formula
Now, find the equation of the linear equation. Use the point slop formula
Hence, the expression of the straight line is
