9(a)
on y-axis, x= 0
y = 2x² - 5x + 1 = 1

pt is (0, 1)

dy/dx = 4x - 5
at x= 0, gradient is -5

9(b)
on x-axis, y= 0 => x = 4

y = 1 - 4/x
dy/dx = 4/x²

pt is (4, 0)

at x= 4, gradient is 4/16 = 0.25

(c)
y = x
x = (x+2)/x
x² = x + 2
x = 2 or -1

pts r (-1, -1) & (2, 2)

y = 1 + 2/x
dy/dx = -2/x²

at x= -1, gradient is -2/1 = -2

at x= 2, gradient is -2/4 = -0.5

Something like this would be good. We just simply need to obtain the expression for dy/dx in terms of x and then find the numerical value of dy/dx at each required point.
