How do we find the locus of points?

  • A locus is a general graph of a given equation
  • The locus is the set of all points that makes all the other points the same to the given condition
  • There are 5 different locus

1. The locus of points equidistant ( the equal distance from another point)
        from a single point.
  • Using the origin and forming a circle at the same distant all around the center( origin)
                      The locus of 1 unit from point A.

2. The locus of points equidistant from two fixed points.
  • Forming a line through the middle of the two points
                                                    The locus of points P and Q is :

   



3. The locus of points from a single line.
  • Two parallel lines would be equidistant formed on opposite side from the original line


4. Locus of points equidistant from two parallel lines.
  • a line would be through the middle of the two lines.


5. The locus of points from two intersecting lines.
  • two intersecting lines halfway between the two original lines.
