Chapter 7 - The Tangent Line

Primary tabs

Lesson Summary: 
The Tangent Line is a straight line at a specific point, $x_0$, whose slope is $f\,'(x_0)$ that takes on the value $f(x_0)$ at $x_0$. In this lesson we derive the formula for the tangent line given that we know the function and its derivative.
