^This is the second gif^

I hardcore struggled with this assignment. I don't think it had much to do with understanding the point of the lab, I think it had more to do with figuring out how to work gifsmos. I've never actually used gifsmos or desmos before, so this was a big challenge for me. To overcome this I worked with my group and they were very supportive and helpful with this project and explaining how to work desmos.

In the second gif we had to add another point to the line of the graph. We then had to find out how to do that and how to make them move in opposite directions. THIS WAS HARD and Im honestly still not a hundred percent sure of how we did it, but somehow we managed it.

We couldn't use a static secant or tangent line in the gifs, we had to create a moving point to show the different slopes of the secant and the tangent lines.

As the secant points move together it creates the slope of the tangent line. By using these secant points, we can see how the tangent line is created and how it relates to the secant.
