the line AB.

If CD is 8 units in length, what is the area of
the part that is shaded yellow?

x-y+2=0 and y^2=4px
y=x+2 re arrange line equation and sub into the parabola equation.
(x+2)^2 = 4px
giving a quadratic equation when expanded?
x^2 +4x + 4 = 4px
x^2 +(4-4p)x + 4 Is this the correct way to combine the x terms?
