is this differential calculus?
try implicit differentiation to find the derivative then plug in your points.

However i do know that

Answer 6

However I can tell you the more you zoom into a circle the flatter and flatter it looks.


If you have a graphing zoom in as far as you can till it starts to look like a flat line.

or algebraically plug in a very small number to a slope function (m)

Answer 7

Okay thank you :)
