Determine whether the statement is true or false, and explain why.
The derivative value f'(a) equals the slope of the tangent line to the graph of y=f(x) at x = a.
Choose the correct answer below.
OA. The statement is true because f'(x) is a function of x.
B. The statement is false because f(a) gives the instantaneous rate of change of f' at x = a.
OC. The statement is true because f'(a) gives the instantaneous rate of change of fat x = a.
OD. The statement is false because f'(a) gives the average rate of change of f from a to x.
