(1) Equating the square of the distance between P and S and the square of the distance between P and the line we have
x^2 + (y-a)^2 = (y+a)^2
x^2 + y^2 - 2ay + a^2 = y^2 +2ay + a^2 and therefore the equation of the locus (a parabola) is
y = (1/(4a)) x^2
(2) Do it all over again as above or just exchange x and y and you get the equation of the locus
x = (1/(4a)) y^2
