Homework Problem that I do not get how to do....We are currently learning about derivatives and this is one of the problems in our homework assignment.
Find an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the given point:
y= (x^3 + 1)/ 2x , x=1

How are slopes of tangent line and value of the derivative at a point and the graph are related?

What is the equation of a line whose slope is m and passes through (x[sub:2316qya5]1[/sub:2316qya5],y[sub:2316qya5]1[/sub:2316qya5])?
