Locus Problems

- How do we solve locus problems ?


  There are two different types of locus :
     - Locus #1 : one point as a circle
    -  Locus #2 : two fixed points that make a perpendicular bisector


     The Locus is the set of all points that satisfy a given condition.
     A Locus is a general graph of a given equation.
 
       The Locus of points equidistant from two points is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the two points. ( a line through the middle of the two points ) 


   If the circle has one line :
  The Locus of points equidistant from a line are two lines as opposite sides , equidistant and parallel to that line.

Two parallel lines :  a line through the middle of the lines
