This GeoGebra applet demonstrates the geometric definition of a hyperbola. Using points, circles, lines, and perpendicular bisectors, it visually illustrates the locus of points where the absolute difference of distances to two fixed foci is constant. This dynamic model aids in understanding core concepts of conic sections, serving as an excellent teaching tool for coordinate geometry.
