You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Imagine that description in your head. What do you see? You can change orientation and position of the line in relation to the parabola, right?

If imagining that is difficult, you can make drawings; what do you find.

What if I tell you that the answer is, "Two". Do you believe this? Can you SHOW that "two" is right or wrong?
