Detailed Solution

S=(1, 2) directrix x+2y+9=0

let Z be foot of perpendicular from focus to directrix

h-11=k-22=-1+4+91+4 h-11=k-22=-145 h=-95, k-2=-285                     k=-185

Let Z=-95,-185,S=1, 2 vertex=mid point of SZ¯ V=-95+12,-185+22 V=-410,-810=(-25,-45)

Equation of tangent at vertex parallel to directrix is

x+2y+k=0 since it passes through (-25,-45) then  -25-85+k=0 k=2 required line is x+2y+2=0
