Slope of a Graph

We can estimate the slope at the given point to be


Slope = Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac {\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}}

 is called Difference Quotient
