Hi everyone:

I am trying to find the equation of a curve given its tangent and an 
arbitrary point. Is there a mathematica solution for this?
For example: If I give you the tangent to a curve: -4+11x   at x =2, 
Is it possible to derive the equation of the curve  from that tangent?
Thanks for whatever.
Manuel
