Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below

y = x^2 - 2x + 7
Slope of tangent: y’ = -1/3
y' = 2x - 2
2x - 2 = \frac{-1}{3}
x = \frac{5}{6}
y = (\frac{5}{6})^2 - 2(\frac{5}{6}) + 7
y = \frac{25}{36} - \frac{60}{36} + 7
y = - \frac{35}{36} + 7 = \frac{217}{36}
Equation:
(y - \frac{217}{36}) = \frac{-1}{3}(x-\frac{5}{6})
