sin(x-y) = x cos(y + Ο€/4)
cos(x-y) - cos(x-y)y' = cos(y + Ο€/4) - x sin(y + Ο€/4) y'

y' = [cos(y+ Ο€/4) - cos(x-y)] / [x sin(y + Ο€/4) - cos(x-y)]
at (Ο€/4,Ο€/4), that means
y' = [0 - 1] / [Ο€/4 - 1] = 1/(1 - Ο€/4)

Now you have a point and a slope, so the line is

y - Ο€/4 = 1/(1 - Ο€/4) (x - Ο€/4)
