Answer:
a.

b.

Explanation:
We are given that

a.(0,-1)
Differentiate w.r.t x
.....(1)
Substitute x=0 and y=-1 in equation (1)





Point-slope form:

Using the formula

This is required equation of tangent line to the given curve at point (0,-1).
b.(-1/2,1/2)
Substitute the value in equation (1)





Again using point-slope formula
