xes. Construct the two lines.From the original equationwe see that the curvetouches the X-axis atthe point (4, 0), and doesnot cut the F-axis. It is then easily seen which FlG- 91- is the positive direction of the axis OX, and the curve can beplotted as in Fig. 91. 2. Plot by this method the locus… … 183 ANALYTIC GEOMETRY [Ch.
