What is the locus of a point which is equidistant from the two points (2, 3) and (6, 5)?

  • A.A circle
  • B.An ellipse
  • C.A parabola
  • D.The perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points

Answer: D

The set of points equidistant from two fixed points is the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining them.

Setting \( PA = PB \) and squaring gives a linear equation in \( x \) and \( y \) - the squared terms cancel, so the locus is a straight line, not a curve.
