At the given point, find the slope of the curve, the line that is tangent to the curve, or the line that is normal to the curve, as requested.

y 6 + x 3 = y 2 + 9x, slope at (0, 1)

  • y^6 + x^3 = y^2 + 9x

    6y^5 * dy + 3x^2 * dx = 2y * dy + 9 * dx

    x = 0 , y = 1

    6 * dy + 0 * dx = 2 * dy + 9 * dx

    4 * dy = 9 * dx

    dy/dx = 9/4

    Tangent slope: 9/4

    Normal slope:  -4/9

    y - 1 = m * (x - 0)

    y - 1 = mx

    y = mx + 1

    Tangent line:  y = (9/4) * x + 1

    Normal line:  y = (-4/9) * x + 1
