If z(1) and z(2) are two fixed points in...

If `z_(1) and z_(2)` are two fixed points in the Argand plane, then find the locus of a point z in each of the following
`|z-z_(1)| = |z-z_(2)|`

A

the line passing through A and B

B

the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining A and B

C

a line passing through the mid-point of AB

D

a circle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have,
`|z-z_(1)|=|z-z_(2)|`
`rArr` PA=AB
`rArr` P moves in such a way that it is equidistant from A and B.
`rArr` Locus of P is the perpendicular bisector of the segment AB.
