### Estimating Partial Derivatives at a Point

To estimate the partial derivatives \( f_x \) and \( f_y \) at point C, refer to the contour graph provided.

#### Graph Explanation

The graph provided is a contour map of a function \( f(x,y) \). Key features include:

- **Axes**: The \( x \)-axis ranges from -4 to 4, and the \( y \)-axis ranges from -4 to 4. Each unit is equally spaced.
- **Contour Lines**: Each contour line represents a constant value of \( f(x,y) \), with labels indicating specific function values. Lines are labeled \( 70 \), \( 50 \), \( 30 \), \( 10 \), \(-10 \), \(-20 \), \(-30 \), and so on.
- **Points of Interest**: Specific points marked on the graph include points A, B, and C.

The aim is to estimate:

- \( f_x(C) \) (partial derivative with respect to \( x \) at point C)
- \( f_y(C) \) (partial derivative with respect to \( y \) at point C)

(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place.)

#### Estimate \( f_x(C) \)

\[ f_x(C) \approx -2.5 \]

#### Estimate \( f_y(C) \)

\[ f_y(C) \approx 0 \]

**Note**: The value \( f_y(C) \approx 0 \) is marked as incorrect in the provided answer box.

For these estimations, consider the slope and spacing of the contour lines near point C. Closer and steeper lines suggest a larger derivative, while more gradually spaced lines suggest a smaller derivative.
