  • A
    $x + y = 0$
  • B
    $2x - y = 0$

The locus of the centre of the circle touching the $x$-axis and passing through the point $(-1, 1)$ is

The coordinates of the points $A$ and $B$ are $(ak, 0)$ and $(\frac{a}{k}, 0)$,where $k = \pm 1$. If a point $P(x, y)$ moves such that $PA = kPB$,then the equation to the locus of $P$ is:

If $A$ and $B$ are the points of intersection of the circle $x^2+y^2-8x=0$ and the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=1$,and a point $P$ moves on the line $2x-3y+4=0$,then the centroid of $\triangle PAB$ lies on the line:

$A$ circle cuts a chord of length $4a$ on the $x$-axis and passes through a point on the $y$-axis,distant $2b$ from the origin. Then the locus of the center of this circle is
