I don't think they line intersects at t=-1, that was just the number we were given to plug into the first derivative in order to find the slope. I am really lost on this problem so if anyone could make sure my first step is right and then walk me through the rest of the process it would be...

The only way I know to find the intersection is to set the equations equal to each other, but since I don't have the tangent line equation I am not sure how to go about this.

Thats what I was trying to figure out, how do you find a point on the tangent line, all I have is the slope and I don't know where they intersect

I need to find the equation of the tangent line to the curve x=t4+1, y=t3+t; t=-1 I have already found that the slope of the line is -1 by finding (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) I just need to figure out how to solve for y1 and x1 Thanks in advance
