A circle $\omega$ with diameter $AK$ is given. The point $M$ lies in the interior of the circle, but not on $AK$. The line $AM$ intersects $\omega$ in $A$ and $Q$. The tangent to $\omega$ at $Q$ intersects the line through $M$ perpendicular to $AK$, at $P$. The point $L$ lies on $\omega$, and is such that $PL$ is tangent to $\omega$ and $L\neq Q$.
Show that $K, L$, and $M$ are collinear.

Sol:- Construct $H$ the orthocenter of $ABC$. Construct line $\ell'$ through $H$ perpendicular to $\ell$. Construct the line through $A$ perpendicular to $d$ and let it intersect $\ell'$ at $H'$. Let the line though $H'$ perpendicular to $AC,AB$ meet $AB,AC$ respectively at $ D,E$ . These are the required points.
Note that the construction works because steiner line and newton line are perpendicular and using this we constructed $H'$ the orthocenter of $ADE$ and using that we finally constructed $D,E$

another way
the isogonal of $M$ ,the miquel point of $ BCED$ is the infinity point of the newton line so we can construct $ M$ then we draw a line parallel to $d$ through $C$; it hits $(ABC)$ at another point say $G$ let the line $MG$ cuts $AB $ at point that is exactly $D$ . Finally we draw a parallel to $d$ to construct $E$.

Given three lines $a, b, c$ and two vectors $\vec{u}, \vec{v}$, construct a line $d$, with direction $u$, such that Newton line of the quadrilateral formed by the four lines $a, b, c, d$ has direction $\vec{v}$.

The three lines $a, b, c$ form a triangle $ABC$. Let ${\mathcal P}$ be the parabola inscribed in its medial triangle and whose axis has the direction of the vector $\vec{u}$. Let $d$ be the conjugate diameter of the direction of the vector $\vec{v}$. ${\mathcal P}$ and $d$ intersects at a point $T_{uv}$. The tangent at $T_{uv}$ to ${\mathcal P}$ is Newton's line of the quadrilateral $abcd$, which has the direction of the vector $\vec{v}$.
