As we learnt in 

Equation of Normal -

Equation of normal to the curve  y = f(x) at the point  P(x1, y1) on the curve having a slope  MN  is 

(y-y_{1})=M_{N}(x-x_{1})


=\frac{-1}{\frac{dy}{dx}_{(x_{1},y_{1})}}(x-x_{1})

-

 

 Move to Tangent Normal

2x+2.1y+2x\frac{dy}{dx}-6y\frac{dy}{dx}=0

2+2+2\frac{dy}{dx}-6\frac{dy}{dx}=0

4-4\frac{dy}{dx}=0

\therefore \frac{dy}{dx}=1

m_{N}=-1

\therefore y-1=-1(x-1)=-x+1

\therefore x+y=2 solve from x & y

\therefore x=3, y=-1
