Solution:
Find the slope of f (x, y) = 0 at (1, 0) where f (x, y) = x2+y2-6x+10y+5
Assume (r, s) is on the curve.
The constant is f(r,s), which is assumed to be zero because (r,s) is assumed on the curve.
f(x,y)=(2r-6)(x-r)+(2s+10)(y-s)+(x-r)2+(y-s)2
When (x,y) is close to (r,s), x-r and y-s are small, and their squares are smaller still. So the best linear
approximation to f(x,y)=0 near (r,s) is gotten by dropping the squared terms above and setting the
whole thing to zero.
