Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below

y = x^3 - 3x
y' = 3x^2 - 3
Slope of tangent:
m = \frac{2-(-2)}{2-1}
m = 4
3x^2 - 3 = 4
3x^2 = 7

x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}
Put in the curve
y = \pm ((\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}})^{3}-(\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}))
y = \pm \sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}(\frac{7}{3}-1)
y = \pm \frac{4}{3}\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}
