are the slopes of tangent lines to the graph of a function at different values of x always distinct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, because look at the function f(x) = x^2. The formula to find the tangent line at a given value of x is f'(x) = 2x. If you plug in different values, you get distinct slopes.
