Consider the hyperbola

$\frac{x^2}{100}-\frac{y^2}{64}=1$

with foci at $S$ and $S_1$, where $S$ lies on the positive $x$-axis. Let $P$ be a point on the hyperbola, in the first quadrant. Let $\angle SPS _1=\alpha$, with $\alpha<\frac{\pi}{2}$. The straight line passing through the point $S$ and having the same slope as that of the tangent at $P$ to the hyperbola, intersects the straight line $S_1 P$ at $P_1$.
