Find the equation of a tangent line?
find the derivative to get the slope, then using the graph of the other line given to you, find a point on the graph that they share and plug it in to find the y-value. then use the point slope formulahttp://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:P72siWJTFjwJ:gato-docs.its.txstate.edu/slac/Subject/Math/Calculus/Findting-the-Equation-of-a-Tangent-Line/Finding%2520the%2520Equation%2520of%2520a%2520Tangent%2520Line.pdf+how+to+find+the+equation+of+a+tangent+line&hl=en&gl=us&sig=AFQjCNFcYzt1d-PU9hE2gbQKngp4FeRw3Q
Find the equation of the tangent line at the given value y equals ln x squared at x equals 1?
Given y=LN(x2). To find the equation of a tangent line to a point on a graph, we must figure out what the slope is at that exact point. We must take the derivitave with respect to x to come up with a function that will give the slope of the tangent line at any point on the graph. Any text book will tell you that the derivative with respect to X of LN(U) is the quantity U prime over U(In other words, the derivitive of U over U. U is whatever is inside the natural log). In this case, it is y = (2x/x2). To find the slope, we then plug in an x coordinate, 1. We get y=2. The slope of the tangent line at this point is 2. We now have m for the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Now we must find b. B is the y intercept, aka where does the graph intersect the y axis. We use the slope. We know that the graph of the tangent line contains the point (0,1). We go down 2 and left one, to find that the tangent line intercepts the y axis at -1. We now have B. The equation of the tangent line of y = LN(x2) at X = 1 is y = 2X-1. Hope this helps!!!

How do you get the tangent line without the graph?
The answer will depend on the context. If the curve in question is a differentiable function then the gradient of the tangent is given by the derivative of the function. The gradient of the tangent at a given point can be evaluated by substituting the coordinate of the point and the equation of the tangent, though that point, is then given by the point-slope equation.
What is a tangent line?
Tangent line is a graph. This graph is to gather data.
What does the graph of the equation 2x-3y equals 6 look like?

Why do you need to find the inflection point on a graph?
To find the inflection points on a graph, you need to take the second derivative. Then, set that equal to zero to find the x value(s) of the inflection point(s).
What is the slope of the equation y equals -x?
The equation has no slope. The graph of the equation is a straight line with a slope of -1 .
How do you graph the equation yx plus 4?
That's not an equation, so there's nothing to graph. Simple way to tell: There's no "equals" sign in it.
