A point moves such that the sum of the squares of its distances from two intersecting straight lines ​(need not be perpendicular) ​is constant. Prove that its locus is an ellipse and find the eccentricity in terms of angle between the straight lines. (Coordinate Geometry, SK Goyal, Ellipse) Ans. Eccentricity = √(1 – ​(cosecα + cotα) -2 ​), where α is the angle between the lines
