Difference Locus

This sketch uses the point tracing feature to find the locus of points that have a common difference in their distance to two specific points. In terms of an equation, we want to find all points P so that distance(P,A)-distance(P,B) = constant. In this sketch A & B are the given points, and the constant is the slider diff.
