i think it will be node because when we shift the curve from (0,0) to
point (2,0), then the new origin will be (2,0) . and equation of
tangent at origin is given by equating to zero the lowest degree terms
. so we get two distinct and real tangent and this result shows that
it must be node at point (2,0) .

The possible double points are (2,0) and (4/3 ,0) . but out of these
only (2,0) satisfy the equation of curve . thus (2,0) is the only
double point of given curve. and at (2,0) not cusp its will be node.
