<span> First plug in the x value into the derivative to get the slope.</span><span> The second step is to plug the given x-value into the derivative of f(x). The value you </span>get<span> is the </span>slope of the tangent line. Now you want to find the y-value of the point with the original equation which means the third step is to find the y-value of the point! That should be it!
