AS shown in figure, axis and directrix are perpendicular to each other.
 
Since directrix equation is 3x+4y-2 = 0, axis equation is of the form 4x-3y+k = 0, where k is a constant.
 
Since axis is passing through the focus S(1,1), we will substitute x=1, y=1 in axis equation and find constant k.
 
4x-3y+k = 4(1) - 3(1) +k = 0,  hence k = -1  ;
 
Equation of axis is 4x-3y-1 = 0
 
Intersection point P of axis and directrix is obtained by solving both directrix and axis equations as shown below
 
3x+4y = 2 .....................(1)
4x-3y = 1 .....................(2)
 
By solving above simultaneous linear equations , we get x = 2/5, y = 1/5  ;
 
Hence coordinates of point of intersection P is (2/5 , 1/5)
 
vertex of parabola is mid-point of focus S and point P. hence vertex point is {  [1+(2/5)]/2,  [1+1/5)]/2 }  = { 7/10, 6/10 }
