✔ 最佳答案
y = 3/x
dy/dx = -3/x^2
dy/dx(at x = 3) = -3/3^2 = -1/3
The tangent line is
y - 1 = -1/3(x - 3)
y - 1 = -x/3 + 1
y = -x/3 + 2

y=3/x

y' = -3/x^2
when x=3, y'=-3/3^2 = -3/9 = -1/3

Equation of tangent at (3,1):
y-1 = (-1/3)(x-3)
y=(-1/3) x + 1+1
y=(-1/3) x +2

y = 3/x
y = -3/x²

Slope of the tangent at the point (3, 1)
= y | (x = 3)
= -3/(3)²
= -1/3

The equation of the tangent at the point (3, 1) in point-slope form :
y - 1 = (-1/3)(x - 3)
3(y - 1) = -(x - 3)
3y - 3 = -x + 3
x + 3y - 6 = 0

Well,

first we verify that point A(3, 1) IS on the graph as it verifies the equation
the slope of the tangent is the derivative :
dy/dx = -3/x^2
therefore the slope is
m = dy/dx(3) = -3/9 = -1/3
therefore the equation is :
y - 1 = (-1/3)(x - 3)
-3y + 3 = x - 3

x + 3y = 6 <--- answer

hope it' ll help !!

y = 3/x
y' = -3/x^2
y' = -3/(3^2) = -3/9 = -1/3

y - 1 = (-1/3) * (x - 3)
y - 1 = (-1/3) * x + 1
y = (-1/3) * x + 2
