Answer

$y=-9x$ $y=-\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{27}{4}$

Work Step by Step

$y=x^3-9x$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2-9$ $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ $(x_1, y_1)=(1,-9)$ $(y-(-9))=m(x-1)$ $y+9=m(x-1)$ $y=m(x-1)-9$ $y=(3x^2-9)(x-1)-9$ $(x^3-9x)=(3x^2-9)(x-1)-9$ $x^3-9x=3x^3-3x^2-9x+9-9$ $2x^3=3x^2$ $2x^3-3x^2=0$ $x^2(2x-3)=0$ $x=0$ or $\frac{3}{2}$ $x=0$ $y=(0)^3-9(0)$ $y=0$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2-9$ $3(0)^2-9=-9$ $m=-9$ $y=m(x-1)-9$ $y=(-9)(x-1)-9$ $y=-9x$ $x=\frac{3}{2}$ $y=(\frac{3}{2})^3-9(\frac{3}{2})$ $y=\frac{27}{8}-\frac{27}{2}$ $y=-\frac{81}{8}$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2-9$ $3(\frac{3}{2})^2-9=\frac{27}{4}-9=-\frac{9}{4}$ $m=-\frac{9}{4}$ $y=m(x-1)-9$ $y=(-\frac{9}{4})(x-1)-9$ $4y=-9(x-1)-36$ $4y=-9x+9-36$ $4y=-9x-27$ $y=-\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{27}{4}$
