ryDrawing a Locus that Satisfies One Condition• A locus in a plane is a set of all points in a plane that
satisfy a given condition or set of given condition. Locus is derived from the Latin Word for “location.” The plural of locus is loci, pronounced “low-sigh.”

ryDrawing a Locus that Satisfies One Condition• A locus is often described as the path
of an object moving in a plane. For instance, the reason many clock surfaces are circular is that the locus of the end of a clock’s minute hand is a circle.

ryFinding a Locus
To find the locus of points that satisfy a given condition, use the following steps:
1. Draw any figures that are given in the statement of the problem.
2. Locate several points that satisfy the given condition.
3. Continue drawing points until you recognize the pattern.
4. Draw the locus and describe it in words.

ryLoci Satisfying Two or More Conditions• To find the locus of points that satisfy
two or more conditions, first find the locus of points that satisfy each condition alone. Then find the intersection of these loci.

ryEx. 2: Drawing a Locus Satisfying Two Conditions• Points A and B lie in a plane. What is
the locus of points in the plane that are equidistant from points A and B and are a distance of AB from B?

ryEx. 3: Drawing a Locus Satisfying Two Conditions• Point P is in the interior of ABC. What
is the locus of points in the interior of ABC that are equidistant from both sides of ABC and 2 inches from P? How does the location of P within ABC affect the locus?

rySOLUTION:• The locus of points equidistant from both sides of
ABC is the angle bisector. The locus of points 2 inches from P is a circle. The intersection of the angle bisector and the circle depends upon the location of P. The locus can be 2 points OR

ryEarthquakes
• The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth’s surface that is directly above the earthquake’s origin. A seismograph can measure the distance to the epicenter, but not the direction of the epicenter. To locate the epicenter, readings from three seismographs in different locations are needed.

ryEx. 4: Finding a Locus Satisfying Three Conditions• Locating an epicenter. You are given
readings from three seismographs. At A(-5, 5), the epicenter is 4 miles away.At B(-4, -3.5) the epicenter is 5 miles
away.At C(1, 1.5), the epicenter is 7 miles away.
Where is the epicenter?

rySolution:• Each seismograph gives you a locus
that is a circle. • Circle A has center (-5, 5) and radius 4.• Circle B has center (-4, -3.5) and radius
5.• Circle C has center (1, 1.5) and radius
7. • Draw the three circles in a coordinate
plane. The point of intersection of the three circles is the epicenter.
