Dear student
Procedure for finding the equation of the Locus of a Point
If we are finding the equation of the locus of a point P, assign coordinates (h, k) or (x1, y1) to P.
Express the given conditions as equations in terms of the known quantities and unknown parameters.
Eliminate the parameters, so that the eliminant contains only h, k and known quantities.
Replace h by x, and k by y, in the eliminant. The resulting equation is the equation of the locus of p.
