if it is a tangent then the pt must lie both on the line and parabola.
7x+6y=13
x=[13-6y]/7---------------------eq 1
using it in the eq of parabola,we get
y^2 -7[13-6y]/7-8y+14=0
y^2-13+6y-8y+14=0
y^2-2y+1=0
[y-1][y-1]=0  
y=1----------------------------------2
using this in eq1 we get,
x=[13-6]/7
x=7/7
x=1-----------------------------------3
hence the pt of contact is [1,1]
hope u got it!
P.S
if u r satisfied pl rate it

IF U THINK U CAN, U CAN........IF U THINK U CAN'T, U CAN'T.........
