Assuming you just want verification of your results,
1. y + 5/2 = 6/5 x
2. (x+8)^2+(y-8)^2 = 4((x+2)^2+(y-2)^2)
or, x^2+y^2 = 32
3. Clearly this is the ellipse with foci at the two points, and a=6, c=4, b^2=20
x^2/36 + y^2/20 = 1

1. Find the equation of the set of all points P(x,y) that is equidistant from (-3,0) and (3,-5).
2. Find the equation of the set of all points P(x,y) that is twice as far from (-8,8) as from (-2,2).
3. Find the equation of the set of all points P(x,y) such that the sum of the distance from (-4,0) and (4,0) is equal to 12.
