Four. (Full marks 20 points) The line intersects the hyperbola and its asymptotes at points . Prove that .
Solution
Due to the asymptote equations of the hyperbola being , we can set or 1 )
(i. . This equation clearly has real solutions.
By Vieta's formulas, we know , i.e., ,
which means the x-coordinate of the midpoint of the two intersection points of the line and the curve or 1 ) is the same (independent of ).
Therefore, the midpoints of segments and coincide, i.e., .
