I never knew there were so many math-groups and I have no idea what
group(s) to post this question so I'm so sorry if I seem to be
excessively cross-posting or off-topic.

My problem is this: 

I have two points which can move more or less free on a plane. I want a
line (curve) connecting these points to have a constant length (that
should restrict the movement). How can I find this line? I'd like to
find some way to describe the curve, with some sine/cosine-functions so
that I can use it in a programme I'm writing.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Regards,
