I got a math problem that looks like this.

Find the point P in the first quadrant on the curve y=x^3 such that the slope of the line passing through P and (1,1) is 3.

I used substitution and the definition of slope to solve it. My answer is (-2,-8) and the computer says it's incorrect. Anyone know the correct answer and how to get there, so I can find my mistake.

Thanks so much

Well, for one thing, your answer isn't in the first quadrant. The x and y values need to both be positive.
