Well if you have found the derivative (slope of the tangent line) of the curve at that point and you know the xy coordinates for that point in the curve then you set it up in y=mx+b format where y is your y-coordinate, x is your x-coordinate and m is your derivative and solve for b

In maths what is a tangent and what is a chord?
Tangent:In geometry, the tangent line (or simply the tangent) is a curve at a given point and is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. As it passes through the point where the tangent line and the curve meet the tangent line is "going in the same direction" as the curve, and in this sense it is the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point.Chord:A chord of a curve is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the outside of the circle.
How do you find x assume that segments that appear tangent are tangent?
A tangent refers to the way in which a curve is measured. The amount of deviation from the segment line is measures, then a formula applied to find the tangent.
What is the point of contact when the tangent line y equals x plus c touches the curve y equals 3x -x -5x squared?
-2
What is a slope line?
is it a line that is slanted
What are the asymptotes of a linear function?
Considering an asymptote as a tangent to the curve "at infinity", the asymptote is the straight line itself.
