Eliminate θ between the given equations:

(xa)cosθ+(yb)sinθ=1,(xa)sinθ(yb)cosθ=1\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big) \cos \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big) \sin \theta = 1, \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big) \sin \theta - \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big) \cos \theta = -1

(xa)cosθ+(yb)sinθ=1…..(1)(xa)sinθ(yb)cosθ=1…..(2)\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big) \cos \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big) \sin \theta = 1…..(1)\\[1em] \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big) \sin \theta - \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big) \cos \theta = -1…..(2)

Square and add equations (1) and (2):

[(xa)cosθ+(yb)sinθ]2+[(xa)sinθ(yb)cosθ]2=12+(1)2[(xa)2cos2θ+(yb)2sin2θ+2xyabsinθcosθ]+[(xa)2sin2θ+(yb)2cos2θ2xyabsinθcosθ]=2(xa)2cos2θ+(yb)2sin2θ+(xa)2sin2θ+(yb)2cos2θ=2(xa)2(cos2θ+sin2θ)+(yb)2(sin2θ+cos2θ)=2(xa)2+(yb)2=2.\Rightarrow \Big[\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big) \cos \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big) \sin \theta\Big]^2 + \Big[\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big) \sin \theta - \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big) \cos \theta\Big]^2 = 1^2 + (-1)^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big[\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 \cos^2 \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 \sin^2 \theta + 2\dfrac{xy}{ab} \sin \theta \cos \theta \Big] + \Big[\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 \sin^2 \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 \cos^2 \theta - 2\dfrac{xy}{ab} \sin \theta \cos \theta\Big] = 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 \cos^2 \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 \sin^2 \theta + \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 \sin^2 \theta + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 \cos^2 \theta = 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 (\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta) = 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 = 2 .

Hence, the required relation is (xa)2+(yb)2=2\Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 + \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 = 2.
