Consider the parabola

We have to find the locus of , since  has ordinate , ordinate of  is

Also  is on the curve, then abscissa of  is

Now  is normal to curve

Slope of tangent to curve at any point

Hence slope of normal at point is

Also slope of normal joining  and  is

Hence comparing slopes 

or

For hence locus us



Next Question :
