Lesson: Equations of Tangent Lines and Normal Lines Mathematics • Second Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the slope and equation of the tangent and normal to a curve at a given point using derivatives.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

find the equation of the tangent to a curve at a given point,
find the equation of the normal to a curve at a given point,
find the point on the curve at which the normal or tangent is parallel or perpendicular to a given line,
find the point at which two curves meet orthogonally.
