So that would give you this distance right over here. That's what we're doing up here in the numerator. And then in the denominator, we're finding the change in our horizontal values, horizontal coordinates. Let me do that in a different color. So the change in the horizontal, that's this right over here. And then they're trying to find the limit as x approaches a. So as x gets closer and closer and closer and closer to a, what's going to happen is that when x is out here, we have this secant line.
