The derivative \displaystyle f^{\,\prime}(-5) gives the function's instantaneous rate of change at the point \displaystyle x=-5, i.e. it is a measure of how much the function's value changes in the vicinity of \displaystyle x=-5\,.

In the graph of the function, this derivative is equal to the slope of the tangent to the graph of the function at the point \displaystyle x=-5\,.

The red tangent line has the equation
y = kx + m, where k = f'(-5).

Because the tangent is sloping upwards, it has a positive gradient and therefore \displaystyle f^{\,\prime}(-5) > 0\,.

At the point \displaystyle x=1, the tangent slopes downwards and this means that \displaystyle f^{\,\prime}(1) < 0\,.

The red tangent line has the equation
y = kx + m, where k = f'(1).
