Detailed Solution

Given S= (3, 5) and A =(1, 3)
Let SA meet the directrix in Z(h. k)
Mid point of SZ= A(1,3) (h+32, k+52) = (1,3) Z(h,k) = (-1,1)
Slope of SZ = 5-13+1 Slope of directrix = -1
Equation to the directrix passing through Z(-1, 1) is
y-1 = -1(x+ 1)  x+y = 0
Let P(x1,y1 parabola and PM perpendicular to the directrix.
Then SP2=PM2x132+y152=x1+y11+12
2x126x1+9+y1210y1+25=x12+2x1y1+y12x122x1y1+y1212x120y1+68=0
Equation of the locus of P is the parabola x22xy+y212x20y+68=0
