Equation of directrix is  \mathrm {x+y+1=0} 
Directrix & axis of parabola are at right angles. Equation of axis  \mathrm {x-y+k=0} , passes through the vertex.

\mathrm {\therefore \quad k=1 \text { (Using }(4,5) \text { in } x-y+k=0)}

Required equation of axis is  \mathrm { x-y+1=0 }

Now vertex is mid point of NS.

\mathrm { \therefore \frac{x-1}{2}=4 \Rightarrow x=9 \text { and } \frac{y}{2}=5 \Rightarrow y=10 }

\therefore Focus is (9,10).
