First check that the given point `(x_0, y_0)` belongs to the given graph, i.e. that `y(x_0) = y_0.` Yes, `sinh(1-1^2) = 0.`
Then the equation of the tangent line is
`(y - y_0) = (x - x_0)*y'(x_0)`
(this line goes through `(x_0, y_0)` and has the required slope).
The derivative of `y` is `cosh(1 - x^2)*(-2x),` here we use the chain rule and the known derivative of `sinh.` Thus `y'(x_0) = y'(1) = -2*cosh(0) = -2.`
So the equation of the tangent line is `y = (x - 1)*(-2) = -2x +2.`
