Exercise 3. Prove that the locus of all points that are equidistant from two distinct pointsA and B is the perpendicular bisector of AB (that is, the line that is perpendicular to ABand bisects it). (Note: this is actually a biconditional statement since it is establishing theequality of two sets, and therefore needs two separate arguments.)

Please see the below picture for detailed solution.
