<<Graphics`

Use DisplayTogether instead of Show

With Show, you are getting a frame with just the curve, then a frame 
with the curve and line together, then a new frame with the curve alone, 
then combined with the line, etc. DisplayTogether combines everything 
without displaying intermediate plots.
