Answer

$x = \frac{\pi}{4} + k\pi $, where $k$ is an integer.

Work Step by Step

The line $y-x=2$ or $y=x+2$ has slope $1$. Furthermore, $y' = 3-sec^2(x)$ We then solve for all values of $x$ for which $y' = 1$: $ 3-sec^2(x)=1$ $sec^2(x) = 2$ $sec(x) = \pm \sqrt{2}$ $x = \frac{\pi}{4} + k\pi$, where $k$ is an integer.
