If the roots of the equation
x12−a2m2−2x1y1m+y12+b2=0 a>b
are the slopes of two perpendicular lines intersecting at Px1,y1, then the locus of P is
x2+y2=a2+b2
x2+y2=a2−b2
x2−y2=a2+b2
x2−y2=a2−b2
Equation x12−a2m2−2x1y1m+y12+b2=0 has roots m1 and m2
∴ m1m2=y12+b2x12−a2=−1
∴ x2+y2=a2−b2
This is the required locus.
