oint lies upon the locus, its coordinates satisfythe equation of the locus. 12. Equation of the First Degree. It folloAvs from the the above that the locus of an equationmay be empirically constructed. We need only, by trial, tofind a sufficient number of points the coordinates of whichsatisfy the… … 24 PLANE ANALYTIC GEOMETRY. We may find any number of points on the locus by giving to x succes-sively any number of arbitrary values and computing the correspondingvalues of y from the equation. For example, giving x the value — 3, we have — 6 + oy = 0, whencey = -1. The values, x = — 3, y = 4,…
