Tangent Rule

This is a line that touches the function at a given point and has a slope that is equal to the instantaneous rate of change at a given point.

• normal line

• tangent line

• delta line

• secant line

What is the equation of the line tangent to the curve y = x² at x = 1?

• y = 2x + 1

• y = 2x - 1

• y = -2x + 1

• y = x - 1

Derivative means the same thing as

• slope of the tangent line

• slope of the normal line

• exponent

• slope of the secant line
