y = 1 2 x + 1 2 y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2} y = 2 1 x + 2 1

y = 1 2 x − 1 2 y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2} y = 2 1 x − 2 1

y = 2 x − 1 y=2x-1 y = 2 x − 1

If f '(x) = 0, what does that mean with respect to the tangent line?

Tangent line has a positive slope

Tangent line has a negative slope

If a function has a derivative that is negative, what does that tell you?

The concavity of the function is up

The concavity of the function is down

When we "take the derivative" of a function what are we finding?

The rate at which our struggles in Calculus are increasing.
