Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve
at the point
So, the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point
Step 1 :First, we need to find the derivative of the given equation. The derivative of a function gives us the slope of the tangent line at any point. So, we differentiate the given equation implicitly with respect to
Step 2 :Taking the derivative of
Step 3 :Now, we solve this equation for
Step 4 :Rearranging the terms, we get
Step 5 :Factoring out
Step 6 :So,
Step 7 :Now, we substitute the given point
Step 8 :Substituting
Step 9 :Simplifying
Step 10 :So, the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point
