Tangent line parallel to another line At what point of the parabola $y=x^2-3x-5$ is the tangent line parallel to $3x-y=2$? Find its equation.
I don't know what the slope of the tangent line will be. Is it the negative reciprocal? 

If you solve simultaneously the curve and the line $y=3x+c$ to get a quadratic equation in $x$ then this quadratic must have double roots at the point of tangency. This will give the value of $c$ and the required $x$ value is given by $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$
