(choose chapter or problem)

Open the Secant Line Not Min Point applet. (a) Grab point B and move it just below the x-axis. Verify the slope of the secant line reported in the applet. (b) Move point B closer to point A. What happens to the value of the slope of the secant line? (c) Move point B as close as you can to point A. Describe the secant line as point B approaches point A. Find the equation of the secant line where point B is as close as possible to point A.
