Answer

a) $1$ b) $ y=x-3$

Work Step by Step

a) Now, $ m_{\tan}=\lim_\limits{ h\to 0} \dfrac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}$ or, $=\lim_\limits{ h\to 0} \dfrac{2h^2+h-3+3}{h}$ or, $=\lim_\limits{ h\to 0} \dfrac{2h^2+h}{h}$ At $(0,-3)$; $ m_{\tan}=1$ b) The equation of a line is: $ y=mx+c $ Now, $ y+3=x \implies y=x-3$
