Isaiah AllenThe slope of the line tangent to the graph of (y = e^{-x}) at any point (x) is equal to the derivative of the function evaluated at that point. The derivative of (y = e^{-x}) is (-e^{-x}). Therefore, the slope of the tangent line at any point (x) is (-e^{-x}).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
