Summary

Description
English: A curve demonstrating the limiting chord process of differentiation (finding the slope) of a curve by first principles. The formula is:

The red line represents the line AB, while the green line represents the tangent at A. As B gets closer to A and h gets smaller, the line AB approaches the actual tangent.
