The slope of the tangent line on a curve is the same as which of these?
acceleration in a distance problem
velocity in a distance problem
area under a curve
all of these
none of these

I'm fairly certain that it wouldn't be the area under a curve. I think it would be acceleration, but can anyone clarify? Thanks.
