Question

what is locus in straight line ?

Answer 1

Consider a point that is moving in a plane. If we join each of the positions through which the moving point passes, we will get the path followed by the point. If the movement of the point is random, its path will be irregular, and we shall not be able to predict, for example, how its path will look when the point stops. Therefore, the path of a randomly moving point cannot be determined. On the other hand, if the point’s movement obeys a given set of rules, the resulting path will be predictable and can be a circle, a straight line, an ellipse, and so on.

So, you can look upon a circle, a straight line, and so on, as a set of points positioned according to a given rule or rules.


Definition of locus: A path consisting of a set of points whose location is governed by some definite rule of rules is called locus. Locus in Latin means “position” or “location”.

Answer 2

Answer:

A locus or set of points that bisects an angle and are equidistant from two intersecting lines, which forms an angle, is called an angle bisector. Ellipse: Ellipse is defined as the set of points that satisfies the condition where the sum of the distances of two foci points is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

A locus is a set of points that satisfy certain geometric conditions. Many geometric shapes are most naturally and easily described as loci. For example, a circle is the set of points in a plane that are a fixed distance r from a given point P, the center of the circle.
