Question

Here's an easy question.
I'm asked to find the equation of the tangent and normal line of the equation y = x^2 at the point (0,0).

For the equation of the tangent line I got y = 0, but when I graph this, it is not tangent to the point (0,0) it actually crosses through it.

For the equation of the normal line, I got does not exist because the slope is 0, and you cannot have a negative 0.

Am I right?

does it touch it? yes, a tangent is meant to touch it once and keep on going
