### Problem 9

Consider the function \( y = 3x^2 - 2x + 1 \).

a) Find the slope of the tangent to \( f(x) \) at \( x = 1 \).

b) Write the equation of the tangent line at \( x = 1 \).

Note: To find the slope of the tangent line, you'll need to compute the derivative of the function and evaluate it at the given point \( x = 1 \). The equation of the tangent line can then be derived using the point-slope form of a line.
