Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
\begin{gathered}{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 6x + 4y - 2 = 0 \\\end{gathered}

−6x+4y−2=0
Point (3,2)
To find:find the angle between tangents drawn from (3,2) to circle x²+y²-6x+4y-2=0
Solution:
Find the centre and radius of circle.
we know that standard equation of circle is
\begin{gathered}\boxed{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 }\\ \\\end{gathered}
x

+y
2
+2gx+2fy+c=0
here, centre C(-g,-f) and radius r=√(g²+f²-c)
Compare given equation with standard equation
\begin{gathered}2gx = - 6x \\ \\ g = - 3 \\ \\ 2fy = 4y \\ \\ f = 2 \\ \\ centre \:\bold{ C= (3 - 2)} \\ \\\end{gathered}
2gx=−6x
g=−3
2fy=4y
f=2
centreC=(3−2)
Radius
\begin{gathered}r = \sqrt{(9 + 4 - 2)} \\ \\ r = \sqrt{15} \\ \\\end{gathered}
r=
(9+4−2)
r=
15
See the attached figure, since pair of tangents can be drawn from a single point.
Tangent; at the point of contact , makes 90° angle with radius of circle.
∆CPA is right angle at A.
Since CA is radius= √15 units
PC: Find distance from distance formula

Find Perpendicular by applying Pythagoras theorem,
\begin{gathered}PC {}^{2} = {AC}^{2} + {AP}^{2} \\ \\ {AP}^{2} = 16 - 15 \\ \\ \bold{AP = 1 \: units} \\ \\\end{gathered}

Now,find the angle CPA,by Applying trigonometric ratios on right triangle.
\begin{gathered}tan \frac{ \theta}{2} = \frac{AC}{AP} \\ \\ tan \frac{ \theta}{2} = \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{1} \\ \\ \frac{ \theta}{2} = {tan}^{ - 1} ( \sqrt{15} ) \\ \\ \frac{ \theta}{2} = {tan}^{ - 1}(3.87) \\ \\ \frac{ \theta}{2} =75.51° \\ \\ \theta =2\times75.51° \\ \\ \bold{\theta=151.02°}\\\\ \theta\:\approx\:151°\end{gathered}

Thus,
Angle between pair of tangents is 151°.
