Find the coordinates of the point on the curve y 2 = 3 − 4x where tangent is parallel to the line 2x + y − 2 = 0.

Let (x1, y1) be the required point.
Slope of the given line = -2

Since, the point lies on the curve.Hence, y12=3-4x1       ...1Now, y2=3-4x2ydydx=-4dydx=-42y=-2ySlope of the tangent = dydxx1, y1=-2y1Given:Slope of the tangent = Slope of the line-2y1=-2y1=1From (1), we get1=3-4x1-2=-4x1x1=12x1, y1=12, 1
