2. We wish to find the equation of the normal line L to ellipse E given by

x y
 

when 1x  and 0.y 
We first determine a point of intersection  0 0,P x y of L with E. We have 0 1,x  whence

and so

y 
and hence

.
2 2
y  
Now to find the equation of L, we first find a normal vector N to E at P. Letting

Now we have
