$A$ line $L: y=mx+3$ meets the $y$-axis at $E(0,3)$ and the arc of the parabola $y^2=16x, 0 \leq y \leq 6$ at the point $F(x_0, y_0)$. The tangent to the parabola at $F(x_0, y_0)$ intersects the $y$-axis at $G(0, y_1)$. The slope $m$ of the line $L$ is chosen such that the area of the triangle $EFG$ has a local maximum.
