y3−xy+x2=1 Differentiate both sides with respect to x
3y2y′−y−xy′+2x=0
y′=3y2−xy−2x
slope=m=3(0)2−10−2(1)=2 The tangent line in point-slope form is
y−0=2(x−1) The tangent line in slope-intercept form is
y=2x−2
For the normal line
slope2=m2=−m1=−21 The normal line in point-slope form is
y−0=−21(x−1) The normal line in slope-intercept form is
y=−21x+21
