Problem Statement

Given an integer n2n\ge 2, define M0(x0,y0)M_0 (x_0, y_0) to be an intersection point of the parabola y2=nx1y^2=nx-1 and the line y=xy=x. Prove that for any positive integer mm, there exists an integer k2k\ge 2 such that (x0m,y0m)(x^m_0, y^m_0) is an intersection point of y2=mx1y^2=mx-1 and the line y=xy=x.
