Please also calculate the equation of the normal line to the point

**Problem Description:**

Find the lines that are (a) tangential and (b) normal to each curve at the given point.

Equation of the curve:
\[
\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1
\]
Given point on the curve:
\[
\left( 1, \frac{5}{4} \sqrt{15} \right)
\]

**Task:**

Determine the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point \(\left( 1, \frac{5}{4} \sqrt{15} \right)\).

**Answer Section:**

The equation of the tangent line to the point \(\left( 1, \frac{5}{4} \sqrt{15} \right)\) is \( y = \_\_\_ \).
