LOCI IN TWO DIMENSIONS Locus is the path of moving point or set of point that satisfies given conditions



A Fixed Point If a point P moves such that it is a constant distance from a fixed point O, its locus is a circle with centre O and radius OP Locus of P

O Radius OP P

2. Two Fixed Points If a point P moves such that it is equidistant from 2 fixed points R and S, its locus is the perpendicular bisector of line RS Locus p

4. Two intersecting lines • If a point P moves such that its

perpendicular distance from two lines, AB and CD is constant, its locus is the angle bisector of angle AQC and angle AQD, where Q is the intersecting point C B
