초록

Let A and B denote a point, a line or a circle, respectively. For a positive constant $a$, we examine the locus $C_{AB}$($a$) of points P whose distances from A and B are, respectively, in a constant ratio $a$. As a result, we establish some equivalent conditions for conic sections. As a byproduct, we give an easy way to plot points of conic sections exactly by a compass and a straightedge.
