Nov 6­9:24 AM Equations of Tangent and Normal Lines To find the equation of any line, we simply need to  know the slope of the line and a point on the line. To find the equation of a tangent line at a point, we  are given a point (or at least the x­value of the point).   The only thing left to find is the slope of the tangent  line (the derivative at the given point).   04_2 Equations of Tangent and Normal Lines (working).notebook 2 November 28, 2017 Nov 6­9:32 AM Ex) Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of the  function  at .     Nov 14­10:26 AM The Normal Line A normal line, is the line perpendicular to a tangent line at  the point where the tangent line intersects the curve.
