Explanation:
If the sun considered as x=0 on the axis to put the center of the mass as a:
solve to r1
Now convert to coordinates centered on the center of mass. call the new coordinates x' and y' (we won't need y'). Now since in the sun centered coordinates the angular momentum was
where T = orbital period
then L'(x',y') = L(x) by conservation of angular momentum. So that means
Since
then
