Locus of a Parabola (Equidistant from a Point and a Line)
2018-01-24 07:37
This GeoGebra applet demonstrates the geometric definition and locus generation of a parabola. By constructing a moving point equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line, the parabola's locus is traced. It uses geometric commands like orthogonal lines and intersections, with checkboxes for trace control, intuitively illustrating the core properties of a parabola for coordinate geometry and geo
