The slope of a curve of y=f(x) at x=a is f'(a).
Let us find the slope of f(x)=x3x+2 at x=1.
By taking the derivative,
f(x)=3x21
By plugging in x=1,
f(1)=3(1)21=2
Hence, the slope is 2.

If the curve is the graph of a function f(x), then the slope of the curve at the point x=a can be found by f'(a).
