ok the sketch looks like this |dw:1444396674018:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the locus looks like the middle line which intersects the 2 given lines.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

We can use the distance formula mentioned bu chris00 is the last question the ditance from any point on the locus is 2 times bigger from the line 6x + 2y = 13 than it is from y = 3x + 8
