Finding similar curves with given tangent

40 Views Asked by At

Good evening.

There are different parabolic curves which have the same equation for the same value in parameter.

For example. For $n = 2$:

$$299 = 4n^2 + 44n + 195 $$

and,

$$299 = 4n^2 + 56n + 171$$

the line which intersects these parabolic curves at point $(2,299)$ has a equation of $2n+295$.

I can calculate the tangent between these curves by:

$(195 - 171) / (44 - 56) = -2 $; which is the negative value for the $2n+295$, I mean here the tangent is $2$.

My question is the following one: How can I auto-generate different parabolic curves when I have the desired tangent, like the $-2$ above described ?
