The function at some point is different from the function at some point very very near to the function at that first point; this difference in function values is then divided by the small difference in the input values. You are looking for the rate of change of a function.
What you want to do is let the "h" become increasingly small. What is the result for ?
Try that for your given function .

--
f(x)=5x-2
Subtracting that from f(x):
This found difference is to be used, "over h", meaning h as a denominator:
simplify this.
