rectangular hyperbola chords part 1

by OronSH, Apr 9, 2024, 8:01 PM

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a rectangular hyperbola with center $Z$, and let $\overline{PQ}$ be a chord of $\mathcal{H}$ with midpoint $M$. Prove that:
The pole of $\overline{PQ}$ with respect to $\mathcal{H}$ lies on line $ZM$.

Since $(P,Q;M,\infty)=-1$ the polar of $M$ passes through the point at infinity along $PQ,$ and pole polar duality shows that the line through $M$ and the pole of $PQ$ is the polar of a point at infinity, which clearly must pass through $Z.$
