Here, focus \mathrm{(S) = (1, -1),} eccentricity \mathrm{(e) = \sqrt{2}}
From definition , \mathrm{SP=e\ PM}
\mathrm{\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2}=\frac{\sqrt{2} \cdot(x-y+1)}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=(x-y+1)^2 \Rightarrow 2 x y-4 x+4 y+1=0}, which is the required equation of conic (Rectangular hyperbola)
