A locus is a set of points that satisfies a specified condition. Here are some loci you need to know:
Theory
All points on a circle have the same distance from its center point.
The sum of the distances to the two focal points is the same for all points on the ellipse.
Equidistant Line:
All points that are equidistant from two specified points.
All points equidistant to a specified straight line.
Bisector:
All points equidistant to two specified lines.
Every angle
On exams, you may be asked what locus is being described. For that reason, it will be useful to remember what defines the different loci.
