Write the equation of the tangent to the curve y = x2 – x + 2 at the point where it crosses the y-axis.
Given that the curve y = x2 – x + 2 has a point crosses the y-axis.
The curve will be in the form of (0, y)
⇒ y = 0- 0 + 2
⇒ y = 2
So, the point at which curve crosses the y-axis is (0, 2).
Now, differentiating the equation of curve w.r.t. x
For (0, 2),
Equation of the tangent:
⇒ (y – 2) = -1× (x – 0)
⇒ y – 2 = -x
⇒ x + y = 2
