When entering an equation you will see if the graph shows two funtions or only one. If the graph shows two functions then it is an odd function because f(-x) does not equal f(x). If the graph has only one funtion, then it is an even function because f(-x) is equal to f(x). The tangent line shows the slope at a particular point on the graph of f(x), which is also known as the derivative.
