since it is the tangent to the curve, its slope will be -1/M.

Not quite. If you know the gradient of a point on the curve, the gradient of the tanget line is equal to the gradient of the curve at the point of the tangent. The gradient of the normal to the line at the given point is -1/m.

The equation of tangent the line is y = f'(x<sub>0</sub>)(x - x<sub>0</sub>) + f(x<sub>0</sub>) where x<sub>0</sub> is the point he wants the tangent at and f'(x) is the first derivative of the curve.
