In this work, intended for future teachers, we present a solution of a geometric locus problem using the GeoGebra software. This allows first to visualize the shape of the geometric locus, then to state a conjecture to validate a solution founded by analytical geometry methods. The search for a geometric locus using GeoGebra software makes the activity more attractive.
