    Solution:

    Given, equation of hyperbola is x25y24=1

    Now, equation of the tangent to the hyperbola is y=mx±a2m2b2                              (i)

    Since, the tangent is parallel to xy=2

     Slope of the tangent is 1

     (i) becomes; y=x±54y=x±1

    y=x+1 or y=x1

    xy+1=0 or xy1=0
