Finding the Slope of a Tangent Line Using Limits

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video introduces the fundamental calculus concept of finding the slope of a tangent line using limits. It bridges the gap between algebra and calculus by demonstrating how the slope formula, which typically requires two points, can be adapted to find the slope at a single point on a curve. The video uses visual animations of secant lines approaching a tangent line to make this abstract concept concrete and understandable.
