Tangent Line
Tangent lines are defined as those lines which only touch the curve or geometric object at one point and then never intersect again.
- At the point of contact tangent and curve have the same slope i.e.,
dy/dx if y = f(x) is the given curve.
- In the case of two dimensions, a tangent of any curve at any point represents the instantaneous rate of change which is the same as the slope.
Types of Lines
Line is a one-dimensional geometric shape, whose both sides extend to infinity. There are different types of lines in geometry, based on shape, orientation, and intersection. Let’s learn about the different types of lines in geometry and their applications in detail.
