\mathrm{N P=\frac{4}{5} \sqrt{x_1^2-25}}

Point Q is on  

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & y=\frac{4}{5} x \\ & N Q=\frac{4}{5} x_1 \\ & P Q=N Q-N P \\ & =\frac{4}{5}\left(x_1-\sqrt{x_1^2-25}\right) \\ & P^{\prime} Q=\frac{4}{5}\left(x_1+\sqrt{x_1^2-25}\right) \\ & P Q \cdot P^{\prime} Q=16 \end{aligned}}
