A curve is formed by lines. If the length of these lines is reduced to zero, we get a very smooth curve.

Is a tangent a trigonometric ratio?

Tangent is used in calculus to compute the slope of a curve. Because curves do not have uniform slopes, unlike lines, their slopes change. A tangent is the slope of a curve at a specific point.


What is the slope of a curve?

Slope of a Curve A number which is used to indicate the steepness of a curve at a particular point.The slope of a curve at a point is defined to be the slope of the tangent line. Thus the slope of a curve at a point is found using the derivative


A word for a constant rate of change?

In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.


The derivative finds the of a curve?

The gradient of the tangents to the curve.


What makes a graph curve?

A gradual change in the gradient (slope).

What does the slope of a curve tells us?

The slope of a curve represents the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable at a specific point. A positive slope indicates that as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable also increases, while a negative slope suggests the opposite. The steepness of the slope reflects the magnitude of this change; a steeper slope signifies a greater rate of change. Additionally, the slope can vary along the curve, indicating how the relationship between the variables changes at different points.


What is the relationship among proportional relationship lines rate of change and slope?

The rate of change is the same as the slope.


What does the slope of the curve on a velocity time graph represent?

The rate of Change in acceleration.


What is the change in y over change in x?

The gradient (slope) of the curve at the midpoint at which the changes are calculated or the derivative of the curve at that point. These are only crude approximations unless the function is linear or if the changes are taken over very very small intervals. Equivalently, it is the slope of the tangent to the curve.
