graph!!

anonymous · Answer

okay so i think 

e is the smallest, then the slope of C... not even sure if that's right though... and not very sure on the rest either :/

Please explain!! thank you:)

Well, there clearly is point where the tangent is horizontal or falling so 0 is the smallest of all the choices.

mertsj · Answer

Then they have the line y=x shown.  Since it has slope 1, you can compare the slopes of the other tangents to it.

anonymous · Answer

okay, so would slope of A be the largest of all the choices?
