Given information
We are given the parabolic equation 
.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Note that all points on the parabola are of the form 
are of the form Assume that the tangent at 
passes through 
passes through We know that the slope of tangent at any point is the derivative at that point.
Differentiate , To get 
, To get Therefore, the slope of the tangent at 
Since the tangent passes through the points and , We can write the slope of the tangent as
and , We can write the slope of the tangent as
