Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y=e^3x at the point (0,1)
To make the equation of a line, we need both a slope and a point. We find the slope of a tangent line by taking the derivative of the function and pluging in your point.

y'=
y'=
m=y'(0)=
m=y'(0)=
m=y'(0)=
m=y'(0)=3
Since they gave us the y-intercept as a point we can use the slope-intercept formula to make the equation of the line: , m=slope, (0,b)=y-intercept.
m=3 and (0,b)=(0,1)

Happy Calculating!!!
