    MHB Equation of the Tangent Line? (Derivatives)

    So, I can't wrap around my head of why the Equation of the Tangent Line is: y = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a) I get it that it's the equation of a line, and so it should be something like y = mx + b. I also understand why f(a) = b (since it's a point in that line) and why f'(a) = m (since it's the slope)...
