| + | '''Slope fields''' are tiny segments drawn throughout the [[coordinate plane|x-y plane]], with each [[line segment|segment]] having the corresponding slope at that (x,y) point of the derivative of the function: |

| | + | The purpose of drawing slope fields is that it then permits easy connection of the tiny segments to draw approximate curves representing the [[derivative]] of the [[function]] on the x-y plane. |
