(1 point) The point P(1/5,10) lies on the curve y=2/x . Let Q be the point (x,2/x). a.) Find the slope of the secant line PQ for the following values of x.

If x=1.5/5, the slope of PQ is:

If x=1.05/5, the slope of PQ is:

If x=0.95/5, the slope of PQ is:

If x=0.5/5, the slope of PQ is:

Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(1/5,10)
