Slope and Equation of Tangent Lines

1. The slope of the tangent line to 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) at 𝑥 = 𝑎, is given by 𝑚 = 𝑓′(𝑎).

2. The equation of the tangent line to the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) at 𝑥 = 𝑎, is given by:
𝑦 − 𝑓(𝑎) = 𝑓 $ (𝑎) ∙ (𝑥 − 𝑎)

Other Rules

If the function 𝑠(𝑡) gives the position at time 𝑡 of an object moving along a straight line, then:
-(/)"-(+)
1. The average velocity between the times 𝑡 = 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡 = 𝑏, is 𝑉+), = /"+
.
2. The instantaneous velocity at 𝑡 = 𝑎, is, 𝑣(𝑎) = 𝑠′(𝑎).
