Question 1

(i) Express y = x2 – 4x + 7 in the form (x – a)2 + b, hence, write down the coordinates of the minimum
point on the curve. (3 marks)

(ii) Find the two values of m for which the line y = mx – 3m is a tangent to the curve y = x2 – 4x + 7.
For each value of m, find the coordinates of the point where the line touches the curve. (7 marks)
