A ray of light through (2,1)(2,1)(2,1) is reflected at a point PPP on the y−y-y− axis and then passes through the point (5,3).(5,3).(5,3). If this reflected ray is the directrix of an ellipse with eccentricity 13\frac{1}{3}31​ and the distance of the nearer focus from this directrix is 853,\frac{8}{\sqrt{53}},53​8​, then the equation of the other directrix can be:
