Answer

Given,

x = a cosec θ, y = b cot θ

⇒ cosec θ = xa\dfrac{x}{a}

⇒ cot θ = yb\dfrac{y}{b}

Using the identity

cosec2 θ - cot2 θ = 1

Substitute the values:

(xa)2(yb)2=1x2a2y2b2=1\Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{x}{a}\Big)^2 - \Big(\dfrac{y}{b}\Big)^2 = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} - \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1

Hence, the required relation is x2a2y2b2=1\dfrac{x^2}{a^2} - \dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1.
