Hi Sithira! Welcome to MHB! ;)

We have 2 edge cases here around the point(s) where $x=1$.

Suppose we had $f(x)=x^2-1$.
What would the slope be at $x=1$?
Does its graph include the point $(1,0)$?

As for the second edge case, suppose we had $f(x)=2x+1$.
What would the slope be at $x=1$?
Does its graph include the point $(1,0)$?
