So, the way to think about it is creating a tangent line that just touches
the point. If we know the slope of the tangent line, then we could say

slope is velocity in this case, if we talk about velocity right at the time x, it
is the instantaneous rate.

This is a graph functionf(x)= 1100 x^2. It is a curve and it shows a
different y value for the values of x. Let's find out the instantaneous
