The locus means the area or line which satisfies a condition. Below are several examples:
![]() |
The points which are x away from point A. Locus is a circle around point A with a radius of x. |
![]() |
All the points which are y from rectangle B. This gives a locus which is y from the straight edges of the rectangle but has a quarter of a circle at the verticies which join the straight lines. |
![]() |
All the points w from the line along cd. This locus is two lines. One above and one below the line cd. Both are parallel to cd. |
![]() |
The points which are equidistant from the points M and N. This locus is the perpendicular bisector of the line MN. |
