magnetic field $B=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}$

the magnetic field at any point in the $xy$ plane $B=\frac{\mu_{0} I_{1}}{2 \pi y}-\frac{\mu_{0} I_{2}}{2 \pi x}$

(assuming current flowing in $x$ and $y$$-direction$ respectively.)

So, the equation of the locus of zero magnetic induction,

$\frac{I_{1}}{y}=\frac{I_{2}}{x}$

$y=\frac{I_{1} x}{I_{2}}$
