Answer

$(y-\pi)=\frac{1}{3}(x-\pi)$

Work Step by Step

Let's start by using implicit differentiation. $(sin(x+y)=2x-2y)'$ $(1+y')cos(x+y)=2-2y'$ Now, we'll plug in the given point, $(\pi, \pi)$ $(1+y')cos(\pi+\pi)=2-2y'$ Remember that $cos(2\pi)=1$, so $1+y'=2-2y'$ $y'=\frac{1}{3}$, which is the slope of our tangent line. We plug this into point-slope form: $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ $(y-\pi)=\frac{1}{3}(x-\pi)$
