Explanation

Any point equidistant from two given points A and B can be the centre of a circle passing through them. The locus of all such points is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. Since there are infinitely many points on the perpendicular bisector, infinitely many circles can be drawn passing through the two points.
