Given information

We are given the point .

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
To find the slope of the tangent line at a point we first need to find the derivative of the given curve ,
i.e.  
 
Once we have the derivative which tells us the slope of the tangent line at any point along the curve, we plug in our specific point.
At
 
Finally to find the equation of the tangent line, we use $y=7 x-5$ our slope and the point itself and plug into point-slope form and simplify.
Tangent line:
