In this lesson we determine the gradient of a line through a point of interest on a curve and another point on the curve which we bring increasingly closer to the point of interest. With time we begin to observe patterns.
At the end of the lesson we introduce a spreadsheet to do the calculations that we have been doing manually throughout the lesson and show how the pattern observed earlier seems to reappear.
