Problem

A spotlight reflector is designed such that the light source is at the focus S(0,3)S(0, 3). The vertex of the parabolic reflector is shifted 2 units2\,\text{units} downwards from the focus along the yy -axis. Verify if the point P(4,5)P(4, 5) lies on the tangent at the vertex, and find the equation of this tangent.
