Squaring both sides, we get
                 space space left parenthesis straight x minus 1 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis straight y minus 2 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis straight z minus 3 right parenthesis squared space equals space 16 straight x squared
Hence, locus of P is 15 straight x squared minus straight y squared minus straight z squared plus 2 straight x plus 4 straight y plus 6 straight z minus 14 equals 0
