1

Basic Concept of Locus

  • Locus is the path traced by a moving point under given conditions
  • Every point satisfying the given conditions lies on the locus
  • Every point on the locus satisfies the given conditions
2

Theorem 1: Locus of Point Equidistant from Two Fixed Points

  • The locus is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the two points
  • Every point on this perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the two fixed points
  • The converse is also true - if a point is equidistant from two points, it lies on their perpendicular bisector
3

Theorem 2: Locus of Point Equidistant from Two Intersecting Lines

  • The locus consists of pair of lines bisecting the angles between the given lines
  • There are four angles formed by two intersecting lines
  • The angle bisectors are perpendicular to each other
4

Standard Locus Cases

  • Circle: Locus of points at fixed distance from fixed point
  • Parallel line: Locus of points equidistant from two parallel lines
  • Pair of parallel lines: Locus at given distance from a line
