Draw the hyperbola: Start by drawing the hyperbola with its two foci, (F1)and(F2), and the mirror (M) that is the convex side of one branch of the hyperbola. Draw the directrix: Draw the directrix of the hyperbola. The directrix is a line that is equidistant from the two foci, and it is located on the concave side of the hyperbola. Draw the incident ray: Draw a light ray directed at (F1)from some point on the hyperbola. This ray represents the path of light coming from a distant object and hitting the mirror.
