Did it for a random function, red is the function difference over h with darker shades indicating smaller values of h, the thick blue curve is the actual derivative. It's also easy to wrap your head around since it's basically taking the definition of slope (rise over run), generalizing it to apply to an entire function, and then taking the limit where run goes to zero.
