Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve when x has the given value.

f(x) = -7- x^2; x = -6

a. y = -6x + 29
b. y = -12x - 29
c. y = -2x
d. y = 12x + 29

How would one do this problem? Just by looking at it I think the answer is D.
 
The derivative gives the slope of the tangent.
 
D is correct!
But you asked how to do it?
