Locus Theorem 3:The locus of points equidistant from

two points, P and Q, is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment determined by the two

points. 

Locus Theorem 4:The locus of points

equidistant from two parallel lines, l1 and l2 , is a line

parallel to both l1 and  l2 and midway between them.
