As a tangent is a straight line it is described by an equation in the form \(y - b = m(x - a)\). You need both a point and the gradient to find its equation. You are usually given the point - it's ...

In this section you'll find photographic features that explore holidays and photography courses, details about members meetings, trials and tribulations of installing new software along with ...

An example of this can be seen below. Once the tangent is found you can use it to find the gradient of the graph by using the following formula: \(\text{Gradient to the curve =}~\frac {y_2-y_1} ...
