Compute the Slopes of the Secant Lines Between the Point

Multiple Choice

Compute the slopes of the secant lines between the point at x = 1 and points close to it (such as x = 0, x = 2, x = 0.9, x = 1.1) and use these results to estimate the slope of the tangent line at x = 1. Round to two decimal places.

A) -1.30
B) -0.70
C) -0.20
D) 0.50
