Detailed Solution

Let  S=(α,β) be locus of focus
Equation of idirectrix is y=βαxαy+βx=0,
Let (x, y) be a point on parabola  then SP2=PM2
(xα)2+(yβ)2=αy+βxα2+β22
 

Question Image

Its passing through (1,0)
1α 2+β2=α2α2+β2(1)
Passing through (0,1),
α2+(β1)2=β2α2+β2(2) By adding  (1) and (2) (1-α)2+β2+α2+(β1)2=1

locus is 2x2+2y2-2x-2y+1=0
