Exercise 38 Page 829

The locus of a point is always a circle.

Circle with center (0,0) and radius 5

Practice makes perfect

Let's start by drawing the described point. Recall that the origin is a point with coordinates (0,0).

We want to draw the locus of all points that are 5 units from this point. Let's choose a few points that are 5 units away from the origin and draw them.

The points that are 5 units from the origin form a circle with center (0,0) and radius 5.
