Here is a Geometer's Sketchpad video with audio (Larger Version) of me describing approximating the slope of a tangent line with a secant line.

Here is a Quicktime Animation showing a secant line approximating a tangent line.

Here is a Winplot demonstration of a secant line that can be used to approach a tangent line.  You may need to download the file to your desktop and then use the freeware Winplot to open the file (by opening Winplot, clicking on Window, clicking on 2-dim, clicking on File, clicking on Open, and then opening SecantSlope from your desktop.  You can use the sliders to vary the values of A and H.  The A-value gives you the x-value at a point on the graph of the function you are looking at.  The H-value gives you the x-value of another point on the graph of the function you are looking at in terms of A + H (so H is your delta x).  The secant line through the points on the graph of the given function with x-values of A and A + H is graphed and its slope displayed at the top of the graph.  The default function is f(x) = 3sin(x), a function from trigonometry.  This function is named FN and you can edit the definition of FN by clicking on Equa, choosing User functions ... , highlighting the function and editing its definition.  Changing the definition to x^2 for example will produce a different graph.
