The graph of the function f(x)= x-squared - 3. Find the slope of each of the tangent lines when x=0, x=1, and x=2.
-------------

-------------------------------------------
The slope at every value of x is f(x) = 2x
Therefore, slope at x = 0 = 2*0 = 0
slope at x = 1 = 2*1 = 2
slope at x = 2 = 2*2 = 4
