Circles and line segment

A point A moves with equations of motion over the circle with center (0, 0) and
radius 1:

A point B with equations of motion moves over the circle with center (0, 0) and
radius 2:

In figures 1 and 2 the two circles and the line segment AB are drawn for the times t
= 0 and t = 2.

At the times when B is on the x-axis, A is on the line with equation y = x or on the
line with equation x = -y.
