To find the point on the line \( y = x + 2 \) from which the other tangent to the parabola \( y^2 = 8x \) is perpendicular to the given tangent, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the parameters of the parabola The equation of the parabola is given as \( y^2 = 8x \). We can rewrite this in the standard form \( y^2 = 4ax \), where \( 4a = 8 \). Thus, we find: \[ a = 2 \] ...
