In this video I show how to obtain the parametric equations of a line that is tangent to a given point on a helix, whose parametric equations are also given. I first convert the helix parametric equations to its vector equation form and then take the derivative. I then obtain the parametric equations of our tangent line by using our given point and the derivative as the parallel vector. I also graph this out in GeoGebra's amazing 3D graphing calculator, play around with it yourself! https://www.geogebra.org/3d/na9yk6pn
