    i need help with a question on Locus
    In the coordinate plane, what is the total number of points 6 units from the origin and equidistant from both x and y axis? I need to answer it and include a diagram on graph paper but I'm so confused.

    Could you draw the locus that is equidistant from the x and y axes? - It's a diagonal line equation y=x

    How many points lie on this locus that are 6 units away from the origin?

    Hope this helps you towards the answer.. :)
