I have triangular cardboard ABC, right angled at C. As shown in the attached, initially, A and B are resting on the x- and y- axes respectively. A is then allowed to slide along the x-axis with B slides accordingly along the y-axis.
The locus of C has found to be:- $9x^2 – 16y^2 = 0$. But it needs to be shown in an animated form (in Geogebra if possible).
Considering I only have PASCAL programming experience, a detail explanation on how it is done is appreciated.
Here's what I tried in geogebra:
Here are the results(The GIF is high quality so might take a couple seconds to load):
The locus of point $C$, as expected, is a straight line through origin with slope $\dfrac{3}{4}$. The other half of the locus is obtained when point $B$ is below the X-axis.
