when 
?
What is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of
To find the slope of the tangent line, first we must take the derivative of 
, giving us 
. Next we simply plug in our given x-value, which in this case is 
. This leaves us with a slope of 
.
To find the slope of the tangent line, first we must take the derivative of

Write the formula for slope-intercept form.
The slope of 
is always zero at every point on the domain. Therefore, the slope at 
must also be zero.
