let eq. of ellipse be   ax^2 +by^2 +2hxy+2gx+2fy+c=0  since it has a double root with  y=0 ⇒ the equation      ax^2 +2gx+c= 0  has D=0  ⇒     g^2  = ac      ....(i)  double root with x=0  ⇒       by^2 +2fy+c = 0  has D=0  ⇒      f^( 2)  = bc       ...(ii)  Let slope of PQ= tan θ = m      { ((x_Q = 2cos^2 θ )),((y_Q = 2cos θsin θ)) :}      .....(iii)  if  (p,q) be center of ellipse  ⇒  q = pm  ⇒   ((af−gh)/(h^2 −ab)) = m(((bg−hf)/(h^2 −ab)))    ...(iv)   OQ=r = (√(p^2 +q^2 ))−2cos θ       { ((x_Q = p−rcos θ)),((y_Q = q−rsin θ)) :}      ......(v)    differentiating eq. of ellipse  2ax+2by(dy/dx)+2hx(dy/dx)+2hy+2g+      2f (dy/dx) = 0    (dy/dx)∣_Q  = −(1/m)               ....(vi)  And Q(x_Q  ,y_Q ) lies on ellipse   so (x_Q , y_Q ) satisfies   ax^2 +by^2 +2hxy+2gx+2fy+c=0                                               ....(vii)    ________________________
