Detailed Solution

The equation of the tangent to S=0 at P(x1,y1) is S1=0xx1a2+yy1b21=0 ...(1)
The normal at P(x1, y1) is perpendicular to (1) and passes through P. Any line perpendicular to (1) is xy1b2x1ya2=k
This passes through P(x1, y1)
x1y1b2x1y1a2=k
The equation of the normal is xy1b2yx1a2=x1y1b2x1y1a2
Multiplying both sides by a2b2/x1y1, 
we get a2xx1b2yy1=a2b2
