Step 1:

\

The curve is \"\" and the line is \"\".

\

The curve \"\" intersects the line \"\".

\

The line is \"\".

\

Solve for y .

\

Divide each side by 3.

\

\"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

If \"\", then \"\".

\

If \"\", then \"\".

\

Thus, the intersection points are \"\" and \"\".

\

Step 2 :

\

Find the distance between the intersection points.

\

Let the points are \"\" and \"\".

\

Distance between two points : \"\".

\

The distance between the two intersection points :

\

\"\"

\

The distance between the intersection points is \"\" units.
