Abstract

Let A and B denote a point, a line or a circle, respectively. For a positive constant <TEX>$a$</TEX>, we examine the locus <TEX>$C_{AB}$</TEX>(<TEX>$a$</TEX>) of points P whose distances from A and B are, respectively, in a constant ratio <TEX>$a$</TEX>. As a result, we establish some equivalent conditions for conic sections. As a byproduct, we give an easy way to plot points of conic sections exactly by a compass and a straightedge.
