Detailed Solution

First, we will find the slope of tangent,
y=x33x24xdydx=ddxx3ddx3x2ddx4xdydx=3x232x214x11=3x26x4...(1)
Now the line 4x+y3=0y=4x+3
y=4x+3 is the form of equation of a straight-line y=mx+c, here m is the slope of the line.
Hence the slope m=4=dydx
Substitute this in equation (1)
4=3x26x43x26x=03x(x2)=03x=0 or x2=0x=0 or x=2
For x=0 substitute it in y=x33x24x
y=(0)33(0)24(0)=0
Hence point is (0, 0)
For x=2 substitute it in y=x33x24x
y=(2)33(2)24(2)=8128=12
Hence point is (2, -12)
Therefore, points on the curve are (0, 0) and (2.-12)
