The equations of the tangents to the ellipse

`x^2/"a"^2 + y^2/"b"^2` = 1 in terms of slope m are

y = `"m"x ± sqrt("a"^2"m"^2 + "b"^2)`   ...(1)

The equation of the ellipse is

5x2 + 9y2 = 45, 

i.e., `x^2/9 + y^2/5` = 1

Comparing this with `x^2/"a"^2 + y^2/"b"^2` = 1, we get,

a2 = 9, b2 = 5

Slope of the line 3x + 2y + 7 = 0 is `-3/2`.

Since the tangent is perpendicular to this line,

its slope = m = `2/3`

Using (1), the required equations of tangents are

y = `2/3x ± sqrt(9 xx 4/9 + 5)`

∴ y = `2/3x ± 3`

∴ 3y = 2x ± 9

∴ 3y – 2x = ± 9.
