    finding a parallel line.

    Hey,

    I have a question that is asking for the point at which a tangent on a parabola will be parallel to a line with the equation: y = 14x -16

    EDIT: (Sorry but my information was wrong first time)

    The equation of parabola is: y = 2x^2 +3x

    now it ask me for the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the line y = 14x - 6!

    ***From another part in same question I found the slope of some tangent to be 4a+3, not sure if I should or could use that in this question!!!***
