Answer:

c). y + x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The locus is a line perpendicular to the line connecting the 2 points and passing through the centre of the line.

The mid-point of the line connecting the given points is:

(a + b + a - b)/2 , (a - b + a + b) / 2

= (a, a)

It's slope = (a + b)- (a - b) / (a - b)- (a + b)

= 2b/ -2b

= -1

So the slope of the line we want is -1/(-1) = 1.

Using the point-slope form of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - a = 1(x - a)

y - a = x - a

x + y = 0
