  • 设弦交椭圆于点A(x1,y1)B(x2,y2)

    椭圆方程:x²/25+y²/9=1,

    x1²/25+y1²/9=1

    x2²/25+y2²/9=1

    两式相减

    (x1²-x2²)/25+(y1²-y2²)/9=0

    (x1+x2)(x1-x2)/25+(y1+y2)(y1-y2)/9=0

    (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=-9(x1+x2)/[25(y1+y2)]

    设中点为P(x,y)

    则x1+x2=2x,y1+y2=2y,

    所以(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=-9x/(25y).

    又根据斜率公式可知:(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=(y-2)/(x-1),

    所以-9x/(25y) =(y-2)/(x-1),

    即9x(x-1)+25y(y-2)=0,

    9(x-1/2)²+25(y-1)²=109/4即为所求.
