As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...
To find the tangent line to a curve at a point P we first pick another point on the curve a little bit away from P. Call this point Q. Do this below by clicking "Another Point". Then connect these two ...
In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.
