Solution Summary
In about 120 words, this solution discusses the concept of finding the least slope. This solution begins by stating assumptions about the curve and then uses this to find the first derivation and then solve.
Solution Preview
Let's assume that the curve goes through a point (x0,y0). So the equation of the tangent line to the curve is y-y0=Y`(x0)(x-x0). y` is the derivation function and we easily know ...
