+53 Hi there.
I was trying to solve the following question:
I completed part (i), by showing that dy/dx is equal to the stated above.
However, when I attempted part (ii), I got only one coordinate (1, -2), (I equated dy/dx = -1).
How would I go about finding the other coordinate?
Thank you so much in advance,

________ = -1
y^2 - x^2
x^2 + 2xy = -1 ( y^2 - x^2)
x^2 + 2xy = x^2 - y^2
2xy = -y^2
y^2 + 2xy = 0
y ( y + 2x) = 0 set both factors to 0
y = 0 and subbing this into the original equation produces
x^3 = 3
x= (3)^(1/3)
So...another point is ( 3^(1/3) , 0 )
