To prove that the locus of the point of intersection of the lines \( x \cos \theta + y \sin \theta = a \) and \( x \sin \theta - y \cos \theta = b \) is a circle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the equations Let the point of intersection be \( (h, k) \). Then we have the two equations: 1. \( h \cos \theta + k \sin \theta = a \) (Equation 1) 2. \( h \sin \theta - k \cos \theta = b \) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Square both equations ...
