Mastery of Limits, Derivatives, and Integration Techniques
Use the limit definition of derivative.
lim f(x + h) - f(x)
h->0 ____________
h
at x=4.
lim f(4 + h) - f(4)
h->0 ____________
h
I believe you can take it from here.

If f(x) = -3x+2, then f'(x) = -3.
So, the derivative is a constant function. In other words, no matter what x is, f'(x) is always equal to -3.
Thus, f'(4) = -3.
