Find the intersection point of the two curves in the 4th quadrant, compute each curve's slope there, then apply the angle-between-curves (tangent lines) formula.

Curves: 2y2−9x=02y^2-9x=0 ... (1) and 3x2+4y=03x^2+4y=0 ... (2)

Find the intersection point in the 4th quadrant (x>0,y<0x>0,y<0):

From (2): y=−3x24y=-\dfrac{3x^2}{4}. Substitute into (1):

2(−3x24)2−9x=0  ⟹  2⋅9x416−9x=0  ⟹  9x48=9x  ⟹  x3=8  ⟹  x=22\left(-\dfrac{3x^2}{4}\right)^2 - 9x = 0 \implies 2\cdot\dfrac{9x^4}{16} - 9x=0 \implies \dfrac{9x^4}{8}=9x \implies x^3=8 \implies x=2

(rejecting x=0x=0, the origin, which is not in the 4th quadrant)

y=−3(2)24=−3y = -\dfrac{3(2)^2}{4} = -3

So the point is (2,−3)(2,-3), which lies in the 4th quadrant.

Slope of curve (1) at (2,−3)(2,-3): differentiate 2y2−9x=02y^2-9x=0 implicitly: 4ydydx−9=0  ⟹  dydx=94y4y\dfrac{dy}{dx}-9=0 \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{9}{4y}

At y=−3y=-3: m1=94(−3)=−34m_1 = \dfrac{9}{4(-3)} = -\dfrac{3}{4}
