From the equation y=x we can :

Replace x in the original equation (given in the question) and solve for x.

Do the same for y, except replace with x.

You should get the coordinates of intersection as (a/4,a/4)

Input the these into dy/dx and solve :

\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{\sqrt{a/4}}{\sqrt{a/4}}

Simplify to -1.

Construct an equation :

y-a/4 = -1(x-a/4)

Simplify to answer in markscheme.

Split the variables :

\frac{1}{\frac{y^3+1}{3y^2}}dy=1dx

\frac{3y^2}{y^3+1}dy=1dx

\frac{1}{3}ln(y^3+1)=x+c

When y=1 and x=0, c = \frac{1}{3}ln(2)

ln(y^3+1)=3x+ln2<br /><br />ln(y^3+1)-ln2=3x

Can't you continue from here ?
