Tangent Line Calculator (Free, with Graph)

Use this free tangent line calculator to find the equation of the line tangent to a function at a given point. It returns the slope (the derivative at that point), the point of tangency, a graph, and the steps.

How it works

The tangent line at x = a uses the point (a, f(a)) and slope f′(a): y − f(a) = f′(a)(x − a). The calculator finds the slope from the derivative at that point.
