The complete set of points that satisfy a given geometrical condition.
Revise: Loci ConstructionA locus is the set of all points satisfying a particular rule. The plural is loci. A locus may be a line or curve, or it may be an entire region.
Draw construction arcs lightly and leave them visible to show how you found a locus.
Check whether the question refers to a whole line or a finite line segment: a fixed-distance locus around a segment has curved ends.
