The gradient of a curve at a point is equal to the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point.
So, find the slope of the purple line. You have one point (3, 2), so you need another. Try (4, 18/5), for example.
sorry hadnt seen the message
what do you mean by (4,18/5) ?
A possible choice for the second point of the tangent line so you can find its slope.
as in a fraction ? so like 4,3.6 ?
thats fine
so
2-3.6 / 3-4 ?
Yes. Don't forget to use brackets when you type it like that, though: (2 - 3.6)/(3 - 4).
so 1.6 is the answer?
Yes.
thank you !
