Tangent with slope m is \mathrm{y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2-b^2}} It passes through (0,1).

\mathrm{ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad 1=\sqrt{\frac{m^2}{2}-1} \text { since } a^2=\frac{1}{2}, b^2=1 \\ & \Rightarrow 1=\frac{m^2}{2}-1 \Rightarrow m= \pm 2 \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\left|\frac{2-(-2)}{1-4}\right|=\frac{4}{3} . \end{aligned} }
