y3xy+x2=1y^3-xy+x^2=1

Differentiate both sides with respect to xx


3y2yyxy+2x=03y^2y'-y-xy'+2x=0

y=y2x3y2xy'=\dfrac{y-2x}{3y^2-x}

slope=m=02(1)3(0)21=2slope=m=\dfrac{0-2(1)}{3(0)^2-1}=2

The tangent line in point-slope form is


y0=2(x1)y-0=2(x-1)

The tangent line in slope-intercept form is


y=2x2y=2x-2


For the normal line


slope2=m2=1m=12slope_2=m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m}=-\dfrac{1}{2}

The normal line in point-slope form is


y0=12(x1)y-0=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-1)

The normal line in slope-intercept form is


y=12x+12y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}
