$$\mathrm{3}−\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{3}−\left(\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4x}+\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{4x}−\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1} \\ $$

$$\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{slope}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{tan}\:\theta}=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\:\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
