Find the equation of the tangent to the graph?

f(x) = 4/x (ln(x^2)-1)

Determine the value of m for which the line with the equation y=mx is tangent to the graph of f.

OMG - this is giving me the shits. Can someone provide me a step by step answer to this? Thanks.

Update:

(4/x)(ln(x^2)-1) to be more specific

    Find out slope of the curve i.e dy/dx. Now if y=mx is the tangent of that graph then, m=dy/dx.
