I don't quite understand how to do this problem... It states:
Find the equation of the tangent line given the curve and through the given point on the curve. Please put your equation in slope intercept form.
y= 1/xsquared with the point (-1,1)
Everytime I attempt to solve the problem I end up getting a zero at the bottom and not being able to find the slope with the little formula that one uses to find it...(it's really long)...please help, I would appreciate it so much!
