Makar disclosed that he had killed the merchant because he realized his mistake and Aksionov's suffering and now he wanted to make Aksionov release from the prison.

Here, the given equation of parabola is y²= 8x.

The equation of tangent to the parabola y²=8x is,

y= mx + 2/m

This tangent passes through the point (-2, 3)

So, 3 = -2m + 2/m

or, 3m + 2m² = 2

or, 2m²+3m - 2= 0

or, 2m² + (4 - 1)m -2 = 0

or, 2m² + 4m - m - 2 = 0

or, 2m(m + 2) - 1(m+2) = 0

or, (m + 2) (2m - 1) = 0

Either, Or,

m = -2 m = 1/2

Required angle is,
