Given hyperbola x216-y29=1 where a2=16,b2=9 Now e=16+916=54 foci are=(±5,0)

Since (5,0) satisfies the equation of the line 3x+(5-42)y=15, so the reflected must pass through (−5,0) and

P is the point of intersection of curve and the ray

So, P(42,3).
 Equation  of S'P is 

y-0=342+5(x+5) 3x-(42+5)y+15=0
