Slope of the line at the point P (2, 13) = P (x, y)

m=

dx

Where m denotes the slope at the point P (2, 13)
Putting P (2, 13) = P (x, y) and m = 20 in :

y = mx + c
2

13 = 20 × 2 + c
13 = 40 + c
40 + c = 13
c = 13 − 40 = −27
Putting m=20, c=-27 , equation of tangent to the curve
at the point P(2,13)

y = mx + c = 20x − 27
Or

y = 20x − 27

Substituting the positions:
d = (−3i − 5j) − (4i − 2j),
d = −3i − 5j − 4i + 2j,
d = −7i − 3j

...
In 1997 the average CO2 emissions of new
cars in the UK was 190 g/km
...
Given Ag/km is the
average CO2 emissions of new cars in the UK
n years after 1997 and using a linear model,
(a) form an equation linking A with n
...

(b) Comment on the suitability of your model in light
of this information
...

• In 2005 (n = 8), A = 169 g/km
...


Step 1: Calculate the slope m

The slope m is given by the

rate of change of A with respect to n:
m=

∆A 169 − 190 −21
=
=
= −2
...
625(0) + c =⇒ c = 190
Thus, the equation linking A with n is:
A = −2
...
Using the
model:
A = −2
...
625(19) + 190 = −49
...
125 g/km
However, the actual emissions in 2016 were 120 g/km,
15

which is significantly lower than the predicted 140
...


Suitability of the model

The linear model is reasonable over

short periods, such as from 1997 to 2005, as the data
aligns closely
...
Over longer periods, the model may become less accurate due to factors like technological advancements,
policy changes, and increased environmental awareness
...
The actual decrease in CO2 emissions between 1997
and 2016 is not constant, suggesting a nonlinear trend
...
A better fit for the data may involve a nonlinear
model, such as an exponential or piecewise function,
to account for faster reductions in emissions over
time
