The equation of a straight line is often stated in the form
y = m*x + b
You have calculated y0 (the value the equation will have at x0), and you have calculated m, so now you need to calculate b and put the result together in the form ytangent = m*x+b
The normal to a line at a point passes through the same line but has a slope 90 degrees different.
