The Geometry of Some Families of Curves Described by Conchoids A conchoid is a way of deriving a new curve based on a given curve, a fixed point, and a positive constant k. Curves generated in this way are sometimes called general conchoids because this method is a generalization of the conchoid of Nicomedes. Step-by-step construction: 1. Specify a curve C, a point O not on C , and a constant k. 2. Draw a line l passing thru O and any point P on C. 3. Mark points Q1 and Q2 on l such that distance[Q ,P] = distance[Q ,P
