Find the point(s) where the slope of a tangent line to the given curve has the value of $y=2x^2$, $mtan= -4$
I know how to solve for mtan with the points but I don't know to find the points.

$y = 2x^2$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x$
$\frac{dy}{dx}$ is slope of a tangent line. Also $m\tan$ is slope of a tangent. On comparing,
$4x = -4$
$x = -1$
Put value of $x$ in equation $y = 2x^2$.
$y = 2$
