A constant value equal to for all points in [a,b].
The derivative, denoted as at a specific t-value.
The slope between any two distinct points on g(t).

What is a normal line?
Line with instantaneous slope at a point.
Line that perpendicular to tangent line.
Line that pass (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) of curve with a slope equal to average rate of change between point (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
Curve lines.
