The variables \(x\) and \(y\) are related by the differential equation

\(\frac{{{\mathrm{d}}^{2}}y}{\mathrm{d}{{x}^{2}}}=2{{\mathrm{e}}^{-2x}}\)

Solve the differential equation. Hence find a possible solution curve that has an oblique asymptote, and state the equation of the oblique asymptote.[4]
