In the coordinate plane, two lines $l _ { 1 } , l _ { 2 }$ tangent to the parabola $y ^ { 2 } = 8 x$ have slopes $m _ { 1 } , m _ { 2 }$ respectively. When $m _ { 1 } , m _ { 2 }$ are the two distinct roots of the equation $2 x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 1 = 0$, what is the $x$-coordinate of the intersection point of $l _ { 1 }$ and $l _ { 2 }$? [3 points]
