Detailed Solution

The general point on the line x=3y  is   3h,h
The foot of the perpendicular of 3h,h on the line  x=y is  l,m
 l3h1=mh1=3hh12+12 
Simplify 
l3h1=hl=2h  
And 
 mh1=hm=2h 
Hence the foot of the perpendicular of 3h,h on the line xy=0 is  2h,2h
Suppose that Px1,y1 be any point on the locus.

The point  Px1,y1 is midpoint of 3h,h  and  2h,2h

It implies that  x1,y1=5h2,3h2
Eliminate h  to get the locus of the point  Px1,y1 
Therefore, the locus is 2x5=2y33x5y=0
