According to me some data in the question is missing as the equation of tangent to parabola has 3 basic forms ; parametric which is yt=x+at^2 or slope form where constant is replaced by a/m.So I think of any info about the parameter or slope of tangent is given then we can get a definite eqn of tangent.In your case the eqn in parametric form will be:yt=x+at^2+2a as the parabola given is a shifted parabola.
