This example demonstrates the basic concept of derivatives. By analyzing the slope of a function's tangent line, students can intuitively understand the meaning of derivatives. The construction summary uses commands like Point, Line, and Tangent to show how to explore derivatives through geometric construction. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
