P is a variable point on the line y=4.Tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle x2+y2=4. A point Q is taken such that parallelogram PAQB is completed.
Prove that locus of Q is
(y+4)(x2+y2)=2y2 .

Dear Ishaan
chord of contact of circle from P is
ax +4y =4 .............1
equation of chord bisected at a point O is
x(a+h)/2 + y (k+4)/2 -4 = {(a+h)/2}2 + {(k+4)/2}2 -4
x(a+h)/2 + y (k+4)/2 = {(a+h)/2}2 + {(k+4)/2}2 ....................2
