Question

On a graph paper, draw the lines x=3 and y=-5.

Now,on the same graph paper,draw the locus of the point which is equidistant from the given lines.

Answer 1

On the graph, draw axis XOX’ and YOY’

Draw a line l, x = 3 which is parallel to y-axis

And draw another line m, y = -5, which is parallel to x-axis

These two lines intersect each other at P.

Now draw the $\angle$ bisector p of angle P.

Since p is the $\angle$ bisector of P, any point on P is equidistant from l and m.

Therefore, this line p is equidistant from l and m
