Given parabola y2 = 8x
focus S= (2,0)
One end of the focal chord is
Let Q (x , y ) = (x1,y1) be the other end of the focal chord.
Q is a point on the parabola,
Slope of SP=
Slope of SQ=
PSQ is a focal chord ⇒ the points P, S, Q are collinear.
Therefore, Slope of SP = Slope of SQ
Therefore (8, –8) other extremity.
(If x1= 1/2 then y1 =2 which is the given point .)
