Let PPP be a point on the ellipse x29+y24=1\frac{{x}^{2}}{9}+\frac{{y}^{2}}{4}=19x2​+4y2​=1. Let the line passing through PPP and parallel to y−y-y−axis meet the circle x2+y2=9{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=9x2+y2=9 at point QQQ such that PandQP\text{and}QPandQ are on the same side of the x−x-x−axis. Then, the eccentricity of the locus of the point RRR on PQPQPQ such that PR:RQ=4:3PR:RQ=4:3PR:RQ=4:3 as PPP moves on the ellipse, is:
