Chapter 8: Loci in Two Dimensions
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about loci in two dimensions. We will start by understanding what a locus is and how it relates to real-life situations. We will then explore different types of loci, such as points that are a constant distance from a fixed point, points that are equidistant from two fixed points, points that are a constant distance from a straight line, points that are equidistant from two parallel lines, and points that are equidistant from two intersecting lines. We will also learn how to construct these loci.
Topics in this chapter
1. Loci
What you will learn in this topic
- Recognise loci in real life situations and hence explain the meaning of locus
2. Loci in Two Dimensions
What you will learn in this topic
- Describe the locus of points that are of (i) constant distance from a fixed point, (ii) equidistant from two fixed points, (iii) constant distance from a straight line, (iv) equidistant from two parallel lines, and (v) equidistant from two intersecting lines, and hence construct the locus
- Determine the locus that satisfies two or more conditions
- Solve problems involving loci
