Comparing this equation with $\frac{x^2}{\mathrm{a}^2}+\frac{y^2}{\mathrm{~h}^2}=1$, we get
$a^2=5$ and $b^2=4$
Equations of tangents to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{\mathrm{a}^2}+\frac{y^2}{\mathrm{~b}^2}=1$ having slope $m$ are
$y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2+b^2}$
Since (2, -2) lies on both the tangents,
$\begin{aligned} & -2=2 m \pm \sqrt{5 m^2+4} \\ & -2-2 m= \pm \sqrt{5 m^2+4}\end{aligned}$
Squaring both the sides, we get
$\begin{aligned} & 4 m^2+8 m+4=5 m^2+4 \\ & m^2-8 m=0 \\ & m(m-8)=0 \\ & m=0 \text { or } m=8\end{aligned}$
These are the slopes of the required tangents.
By slope point form y – y1 = m(x – x1),
the equations of the tangents are
y + 2 = 0(x – 2) and y + 2 = 8(x – 2)
y + 2 = 0 and y + 2 = 8x – 16
y + 2 = 0 and 8x – y – 18 = 0
