This example demonstrates the geometric meaning of the derivative (slope of the tangent line) at a point on a function's graph. Core math concepts include derivatives, tangents, slopes, and line segments. It uses GeoGebra commands/objects like Point, Tangent, Slope, and Segment. Suitable for high school students learning calculus to visually understand the definition and geometric representation of derivatives.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Tangent(A, f) → g
  3. Slope(g) → m
  4. Segment(A, S) → h
