How do you find the slope of a graph if it is a curve?
You find the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point of interest.
Find the slope of a tangent line to the graph?
Use the four-step process to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function at any point.
Derivative as the Slope of a Tangent?
Yes, the derivative of an equation is the slope of a line tangent to the graph.
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
What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
