Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function to differentiate: \(-5x\).
Recognize that the derivative is with respect to \(t\), but the function is in terms of \(x\).
Since \(-5x\) is a constant with respect to \(t\), its derivative with respect to \(t\) is 0.
Apply the constant rule of differentiation: \(\frac{d}{dt}(c) = 0\) where \(c\) is a constant.
Conclude that the derivative \(\frac{d}{dt}(-5x) = 0\) because \(-5x\) does not depend on \(t\).
