The equation for a tangent to a curve and parallel to another line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
To find the slope of a curve at a specific point, you can use the derivative of the equation of the curve. The derivative is the rate of change of the curve at that point and can be calculated using calculus.
The slope of the tangent line at a specific point is equal to the slope of the curve at that point. This is because the tangent line is the best approximation of the curve at that point and thus has the same rate of change.
No, a curve can have only one tangent line at a specific point. This is because the tangent line represents the instantaneous rate of change of the curve at that point and there can only be one instantaneous rate of change.
To find the equation of a parallel line, you can use the fact that parallel lines have the same slope. So, if you know the slope of the tangent line, you can use it as the slope of the parallel line and find the y-intercept using the point where the parallel line intersects the curve.
