Question

Prove that the locus of centres of circles passing through points A and B is perpendicular bisector of line segment AB.

Open in App
Solution

Let center of circel passing through two point AB be O

Then OA=OB because they are radius of the same circle

Hence OAB is isosceles and altitude from O to point P on AB define two congruent triangles OPA and OPB

So OP is perpendicular bisector of AB

Any point O or centre of circle passing through two points is the perpendicular bisector of two points.
