  1. Using algebra, show that \(P\) has coordinates \(( 1,3 )\) and find the coordinates of \(Q\).
  2. Find an equation for the tangent to the curve at \(P\).
  3. Show that the tangent to the curve at \(Q\) has the equation \(y = 5 x - 11\).
  4. Find the coordinates of the point where the tangent to the curve at \(P\) intersects the tangent to the curve at \(Q\).
