I have a curved line with equation,
Y=63.359 ln (x) + 460.83
and I want to find the Tangential Slope at
(0.00484, 153.125) Point.
Please Help

How are the

slope of a tangent line at a point of a curve

and

magnitude of the derivative of the curve at the point

are related?

Thanks for the reply Subhotosh, I am not a mathematician and dont understand what you have pointed out please can you explain, the problem i am solving is basically something for my project.
Many Thanks

Do you know what a derivative of a function is?

Can you evaluate a function at a given point?
 
It's not a matter of being a mathematician! It is a matter of having taken Calculus. If you have taken or are taking Calculus you should know how the derivative is connected to the tangent line. If you are not taking Calculus, where did you get this problem?
