The Tangent Line Problem 1/3How do you find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a point Q when you only have that one point? This Demonstration shows that a secant line can be used to approximate the tangent line. The secant line PQ connects the point of tangency to another point P on the graph of the function. As the distance between the two points decreases, the secant line becomes closer to the tangent line.
Answer: Slope: -1/2
Step-by-step explanation: To find slope take 2 points that lie on the line and use this formula to solve: <em> </em>I will use (0, -2) and (2, -3) to solve

y2 - y1 x1 y1 x2 y2
-----------
x2 - x1
So, for this question, substitute the x and y values from the points above to solve.
-3 - (-2)
----------- = - 1/2
2 - 0
Hope this helped. :)
