We define slope as the first derivative of a given function.

Since we have , we can use the Power Rule

  for all  

to determine that 

 .

We also have a point  with a -coordinate , so the slope 

.

There are 2 steps to solving this problem.

First, take the derivative of 

Then, replace the value of x with the given point and evaluate

For example, if  , then we are looking for the value of  , or the derivative of  at .

Calculate 

Derivative rules that will be needed here:

• Derivative of a constant is 0. For example, 
• Taking a derivative on a term, or using the power rule, can be done by doing the following:

Then, plug in the value of x and evaluate
