Detailed Solution

Let A=4, 3, S be the focus.

Let Z=h, k be the foot of the perpendicular from A to the directrix 3x+2y-7=0

h-43=k-32=-12+6-79+4h-43=k-32=-1113h=1913, k=1713Z=1913, 1713

Clearly A is the midpoint of SZ.     A=Z+S2

Question Image

S=2A-ZS=8-1913, 6-1713S=8513,6113

Let the equation of the latus rectum be 3x+2y=k

Since it passes through S, we have 38913+26113=k.        k=29

Equation of Latus rectum of the parabola is 3x+2y-29=0.
