guess it didn't work want to try again?
derivative is \[\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\] and you know that the slope is \[\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\frac{x}{x+1}-2}{x-1}\] so now you have to solve \[\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}=\frac{\frac{x}{x+1}-2}{x-1}\]
i am pretty sure this is right, even though the answer is rather ugly i get \[x=-2\pm\sqrt{3}\]
show me how please
