Can someone thoroughly explain how to find the answer for this question

Find an equation of the tangent line to y = f(x) when a = 2.
The slope of the tangent line is f'(2) = ¿. It passes through (2, f(2)) = (2, 3).
Therefore by the point-slope formula y – y0 = m(x – xo), the equation of the
tangent line is
