The locus of the middle points of the focal chords of parabola,
y2 = 8x is another parabola whose length of latus rectum is

Show answer and solution
2h = a[IMAGE]....(1) and
2k = 2a (t1 + t2)....(2)

and t1t2 = - 1

[IMAGE] from (2)

k2 = a2 [IMAGE] y2 = 2a (x - 2a)

Put a = 2

Hence, y2 = 4 (x - 4). ]
