Explain the relationship between the slope and the derivative of f(x) at x= a. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The derivative of f(x) at x = a equals the slope of the function at x= a. O B. The slope of the function at x= a describes the rate of change for the derivative of f(x) at x= a. O C. The derivative of f(x) at x = a describes the rate of change for the slope of the function at x= a. O D. The derivative of f(x) at x = a is unrelated to the slope of the function at x = a.
