For the function $\small{y = x^{2}+3x+6}$ :

(a) Find a formula for the slope of the tangent line to the graph of $\small{f}$ at a general point $\small{x = a}$ . Be sure that your formula is in terms of $\small{a}$ .

(b) Using this formula, find the slope of the tangent line to $\small{f}$ at $\small{x = 1}$ .

Slope at $\small{x = a :}$
Slope at $\small{x = 1 :}$
