    Locus - Tangent to 2 circles

    Ok, so heres another locus question I'm having issues with. "Show that the circles X^2 + Y^2 = 4and X^2 + 2x + y^2 - 4y - 4 = 0 both have 3x + 4y + 10 = 0 as a tangent." So with X^2 + 2x + y^2 - 4y - 4 = 0, centre = (-1, 2), r = 2 and with X^2 + Y^2 = 4, centre = (0, 0), r = 2 right...

    Locus equation

    Can anyone please give me a rundown of how to do to the following question: "Find the equation in exact form of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line x - 2y - 3 = 0 is always 5 units." The line x - 2y - 3 = 0 being in there has just confused me.

I enter these into the calculator in List 1, and List 2 respectively, and then in L3, log list 1, and in L4, log list 2, and graph list 4 against list 1 (log X against t, etc). That works fine, and...
