A derivative of a function represents that equation's slope at any given point on its graph.
Need two points. m = slope. (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) m = Y2 - Y1/X2 - X1 ==============Or, if function is in this form...... Y =mX + b ======== Read off of function, or get function is this form.
A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is a line.
A derivative graph tracks the slope of a function.
When you take the derivative of a function, you are seeking a variation of that function that provides you with the slope of the tangent (instantaneous slope) at any value of (x). For example, the derivative of the function f(x)=x^2 is f'(x)=2x. Notice that the derivative is denoted by the apostrophe inside the f and (x). Also note that at x=0, f'(x)=0, which means that at x=0 the slope of the tangent is zero, which is correct for the function y=x^2.

The gradient of the function y = 3x + 5 is simply the coefficient of x, which is 3. In this context, the gradient represents the slope of the line that the function represents. This means that for every unit increase in x, y will increase by 3 units.
The derivative of a function is another function that represents the slope of the first function, slope being the limit of delta y over delta x at any two points x1,y1 and x2,y2 on the graph of the function as delta x approaches zero.
As a straight line equation: y = -3x+18 in slope intercept form
In the slope-intercept form you use the slope of the line and the y-intercept to the origin has a y-intersect of zero, b = 0, and represents a direct variation. All functions that can be written on the form f(x) = mx + b belong to the family of linear function.
Nothing it just represents slope.
The parent function of a linear function is ( f(x) = x ). This function represents a straight line with a slope of 1 that passes through the origin (0,0). Linear functions can be expressed in the form ( f(x) = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept, but all linear functions are transformations of the parent function ( f(x) = x ).
The slope represents a change in velocity, or acceleration. The acceleration is the gradient (steepness) of the line. A larger gradient means faster acceleration. if the gradient points down and is negative then it represents deceleration.
The slope of a function is the y-intercept or the change in y, over the change in x.
The slope of a speed-time linear graph represents acceleration. If the line is flat (zero slope), the object is moving at a constant speed. A positive slope indicates acceleration, while a negative slope represents deceleration.
No, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It is the derivative of the velocity function, not the slope of the velocity vs. time graph. The slope of the velocity vs. time graph represents the rate of change of velocity, not acceleration.
