Answer

$y=-x+2.$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(xy)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(1)\rightarrow$ $y+\dfrac{dy}{dx}(x)=0\rightarrow\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{y}{x}.$ At $(1, 1)\rightarrow\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{1}{1}=-1.$ Equation of tangent: $(y-y_0)=m(x-x_0)$ at point $(x_0, y_0)$ and slope $m$. $(y-1)=-(x-1)\rightarrow y=-x+2.$
