To solve the problem, we need to find the point of contact of a tangent to the parabola \( y^2 = 8x \) that makes an angle of \( 45^\circ \) with the line \( y = 3x + 5 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Parabola and its Parameters**: The given parabola is \( y^2 = 8x \). We can rewrite it in the standard form \( y^2 = 4ax \), where \( 4a = 8 \). Thus, \( a = 2 \). 2. **Coordinates of a Point on the Parabola**: ...
