There is a and a point in the plane, with on ray . Take a point on ray such that , with lying between and . Then take a point on ray such that .
Prove: as moves along ray , the locus of the circumcenter of is part of a line.

Take two fixed points and on , and construct the corresponding . Let the circumcircle of and the circumcircle of meet again at point . Then it suffices to prove that for any point on ray , the corresponding are concyclic with ; in this case the circumcenter of will lie on the perpendicular bisector of segment .
(Note: If the points and coincide, then the circumcircle of and the circumcircle of are tangent at point . In this case the problem becomes proving that the circumcircle of is also tangent to the circumcircle of at point .)

Note that, since , we have
Also ,
so . On the other hand, , so
Combining the above, the four points and the four points are similar. Therefore
hence
That is, are concyclic, as desired.
