Answer

$y=-3x+\dfrac{13}{4}$ and $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=6$

Work Step by Step

Here, $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-3}{2}t$ At $t=2$ Then $ \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-3}{2}(2)=-3$ Now, $y+\dfrac{1}{2}=(-3)(x-\dfrac{5}{4})\implies y=-3x+\dfrac{13}{4}$ Now, $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\dfrac{dy'/dt}{dx/dt}=\dfrac{3}{4}t^3$ At $t=2$ $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\dfrac{3}{4} (2)^3=6$
