Ratio Point-Line

This activity belongs to the GeoGebra book GeoGebra Principia. When the quotient of the distances of the points of the sought-after locus to point A and line r is a constant k, we obtain a conic section, which will be an ellipse, parabola or hyperbola depending on whether the value of k (eccentricity) is less than 1, equal to 1, or greater than 1, respectively .
