Solution
Setting we get or Since we have tangent, this quadratic has a double root, meaning that its discriminant is equal to 0. Thus, or

Setting we get or Again, this quadratic has a double root. Thus, or

Substituting into we get so Then so the equation of the line is
Final answer
y = \frac{1}{2} x + 2
