<p>Use this interactive to find the slope at a point. Instructions below.</p>

<h2>Instructions</h2>
<p>Type your function into the top box ... your function is plotted live.</p>
<p>Now drag the points "A" and "B" to the function line. When they are close they will "snap" to the function.</p>
<p>Bring points "A" and "B" near the point where you want to find the slope.</p>
<table align="center" width="90%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p>When "A" and "B" are on top of each other <b>the slope could be anything</b>!</p>
<p>So keep them a small distance apart.</p></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><img src="images/slope-function-close.gif" alt="points too close" height="52" width="190"></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<table align="center" width="90%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><span class="larger"><img src="images/slope-function-zoom.gif" alt="zoom in to points" height="96" width="148"></span></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<p><span class="larger">Now Zoom In</span>: by pressing "Fit".</p>
<p>Now bring the points <i>closer </i>together.</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>Keep zooming and moving the points closer together until you are happy with the answer.</p>
<p>This is the idea behind <a href="derivatives-introduction.html">differential calculus</a>. We can't have a gap of zero (the slope could be anything), but as the <b>gap heads towards zero</b>, the slope heads towards the true slope at that point.</p>
<h2>Interesting Functions</h2>
<p>Try finding the slope of <span class="large">y = x^2</span> at:</p>
<ul>
<li>x = 1</li>
<li>x = 2</li>
<li>x = 3</li>
</ul>
<p>Try finding the slope of <span class="large">y = ln(x)</span> at:</p>
<ul>
<li>x = 1</li>
<li>x = 1.5</li>
<li>x = 2</li>
</ul>
<p>Try finding the slope of <span class="large">y = e^x</span> at:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>y</b> = 1&nbsp; (x=0)</li>
<li><b>y</b> = 1.2</li>
<li><b>y</b> = 1.5</li>
</ul>
<h2>Accuracy</h2>
<p>There are only a few hundred pixels in either direction, and so the calculations are not totally accurate. But they should give you a good feel for what is going on.</p>
<p>And don't worry, you can often use <b>differential calculus</b> to find an accurate answer!</p>
