SYNOPSIS
 The locus is the set of those points which
satisfy a given condition or a well defined
property.

 The locus of a point which is equidistant from
two fixed points A and B is the perpendicular
bisector of the line segment AB.
 If k =AB, locus of P is line segment AB
 The locus of a point which is at a constant
distance from a fixed point is a circle  If k < AB, locus of P does not exist

 If the join of two fixed points A,B subtends a  A,B are two fixed points and
right angle at P, then the locus of P is a circle |PA - PB| = k, then
on AB as diameter.  If k >AB, Locus of P does not exist
 Given A and B are two fixed points. The locus  If k = AB, Locus of P is line through A and
