Question
Two fixed points A and B are taken on the coordinates axes such that OA = a and OB = b. Two variable points A' and B' are taken on the same axes such that OA' + OB' = OA + OB. Find the locus of the point of intersection of AB' and A'B.

Solution
Let
A
=
(
a
,
0
)
and
B
=
(
0
,
b
)
and
A
′
=
(
a
′
,
0
)
and
B
′
=
(
0
,
b
′
)
Now
A
B
′
=
x
a
+
y
b
′
=
1
………
(
1
)
and
A
′
B
=
x
a
′
+
y
b
=
1
…………
(

)
Subtract
(

)
from
(
2
)
x
(
1
a
−
1
a
′
)
+
y
(

−
1
b
)
=
0
x
(
a

−
a
a
a

)
+
y
(
b
−
b

b
b
)
=

Now, it is given
