Find the equation of the locus of all points (x,y) that are equidistant from (-3, 4) and (0, -3).

Solution 

Let (x,y) be the point of the locus.


Then the equation expressing equidistance from the points (-3, 4) and (0, -3) is


     = 


     = 


     = 


    6x - 8y + 25 = 6y + 9


    6x - 14y = 9 - 25


    6x - 14y = -16


    3x -  7y =  -8


ANSWER.  We get the equation of the straight line  3x - 7y = -8  in the general form.

Solved.
