Locus

A locus is a set of points that share a specific geometric property or condition. For example, the locus of points equidistant from two fixed points (foci) is a straight line called the perpendicular bisector. In geometry, identifying a locus helps visualize all possible solutions that satisfy a particular rule or relationship. It’s a useful way to understand shapes and paths influenced by specific constraints, like the path of a moving object or the points that satisfy a certain equation. Overall, a locus describes the geometric location where certain conditions are met.
