Given focus S(3, 0)
and equation of directrix is: 3x + 4y = 1
=> 3x + 4y - 1 = 0
Let P (x, y) be any point on the required parabola and let PM be the length of the perpendicular from P on the directrix
Then, SP = PM
=> SP2 = PM2
=> (x - 3)2 + (y - 0)2 = {(3x + 4y - 1) /{√(32 + 42 )}2
=> x2 + 9 - 6x + y2 = (9x2 + 16y2 + 1 + 24xy - 8y - 6x)/25
=> 25(x2 + 9 - 6x + y2 ) = 9x2 + 16y2 + 1 + 24xy - 8y - 6x
=> 25x2 + 225 - 150x + 25y2 = 9x2 + 16y2 + 1 + 24xy - 8y - 6x
=> 25x2 + 225 - 150x + 25y2 - 9x2 - 16y2 - 1 - 24xy + 8y + 6x = 0
=> 16x2 + 9y2 - 24xy - 144x + 8y + 224 =
This is the required equation of parabola.
