Asked by Daniel
Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at
y = cosx - sinx (pi, -1)
I found y'= -sinx - cosx
and used the equation of the tangent
y = mx +b
I input the values and get -1 - [(-sinx - cosx) * pi] = b
the answer says it is y = x - 1 - pi
I have no idea how the answer got that.

m= -sinPI-cosPI=1
y= x+b
-1=PI+b
b= -PI-1
y=x-pi-1
y= x+b
-1=PI+b
b= -PI-1
y=x-pi-1
