Okay, well in order to find the slope, I took the derivative of the parabola equation and got 2ax+b for the derivative. I sent it equal to 5 since that is the slope and put in 2 for x since it is given getting 5=4a+b. This is where I got lost. I didn't know what to do once I got to this point.

Homework Statement Find the parabola of the form y=ax^2+bx, whose tangent at given point P has equation y. y=5x-8 P=(2,2) Homework Equations I guess the equations involved would be the equation for the parabola: y=ax^2+bx, and the y-y1=m(x-x1) for the slope. The Attempt at a...
