Formulas

Derivative of y = f(x) gives the slope of the tangent line: m = f'(x)
The equation of the tangent line at a point (x₀, y₀) is given by: y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)
The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line: m_perpendicular = -1/m

Theorems

Perpendicular Line Slope Theorem
