Part b0
f'(0) is the slope of the line tangent to the graph of f at 0. So you need to approximate the slop of the line you drew for part a. It looks like the point (0,-1) is on the line. Approximate another and finr the slope of the line through those two points.

Part c)
Since f'(x) is the slope of the line tangent to the graph at (x,f(x)), you need to decide where it looks like the slope of the tangent line is 0. (Hint: the slope of a horizontal line is 0.)
