How Do we Solve Compound Loci Problems

As I explained before, you already know what a Locus is, so there is no need for me to go into it.

But a compound loci problem is the easiest out of ll the locus problems. You are just plotting the points that it gives you. So for example if you have (2,4) as your point, the problem will ask you to plot a point 5 points away from it. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to count five spaces away from the original point. Once that it done make a circle that connects all the points. they have to be equally spaced, if not then you did something wrong.



Some questions will ask you to plot other points that satisfy the points. That just means to plot points that will be equidistant 9remember that word/) and that will break the circle with a line through it. That's all there really is solving Loci problems.
