Finding a Tangent Line to a Curve

Ascertaining a tangent line to a curve essentially requires pinpointing a point on the curve and employing the mathematical study of change, known as calculus, in particular differentiation, to determine the incline of the line at that specific point. This gradient, coupled with the coordinates of the point, can then be replaced into the slope-point form of the line equation.
