Calculate the points on the curve $y=(1-x)^4$ at gradient = -4
I solve little bit
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4(1-x)^{4-1}\cdot \frac{d}{dx} (1-x)\\ = 4(1-x)^3 \cdot (-1 )$
the gradient is =-4 so I put it in the equation
$-4 = -4(1-x)^3$
what i should do next

The parametric form of the curve is $[t,(1-t)^4]$
$$\frac{dy}{dx}_{(\text{at }x=t)}=-4(1-t)^3$$
So, we need $-4(1-t)^3=-4$
Solve for $t$
Can you take it from here?
