Find the equation of the tangent line to a curve y=-x2-1 that is parallel to the line 2x+y=6.
equation of the tangent of the curve at the point a can be found the following way
, f'(a) is the slope of this tangent line, so, since this tangent line is parallel to the line 2x + y = 6, then f'(a) = -2
so, the sought equation is
