Detailed Solution

Use the property foot of the perpendicular from focus to tangent lies on tangent at vertex find foot of perpendicular from S(1,3) to xy1=0

Say A=52,32  and the foot of perpendicular from S(1,3) to x+y+11=0 
say B -132,-92.
then AB is tangent at vertex X.
Equation of AB is 3y-2x+12=0 
a= perpendicular distance for S to AB =15213 L.L.R=4a=3013 now 1SP+1SQ=1a=21315
Equation of Latusrecta=3y-2x-7=0
Equation of directrix is
 3y-2x+212--7=0 3y-2x+8=0
