How does the Tangent Line Calculator work?

Find derivative f'(x) of function Then: Evaluate slope m = f'(x₀) at point x₀ Then: Use point-slope form: y - y₀ = m(x - x₀) Then: Simplify to slope-intercept form.

Can you give an example of how to use the Tangent Line Calculator?

Example: Input y=x^2, point (2,4) gives a result of y=4x-4.
