Question
At what point does the normal to y = -3- 1x + 2x² at (1, -2) intersect the parabola a second time?
The normal line is perpendicular to the tangent line. If two lines are perpendicular their slopes are negative
reciprocals i.e. if the slope of the first line is m then the slope of the second line is - 1/m
