The locus of all points which are the same distance from two given points describes a?
Straight line
Which best describes a parabola?
Given a straight line (a directrix) and a point (the focus) which is not on that line, a parabola is locus of all points whose distance form the directrix is the same as its distance from the focus.
The locus of points which are are the same distance from a point and a line is called a?
parabola
A set of points the same distance from a given point?
A circle
What is the term for the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point?
This is the definition of a circle.
The locus of all points which are the same distance from two given points describes a?
Straight line
What is a locus of points equidistant from a point?
A locus of points is just the set of points satisfying a given condition. The locus of points equidistant from a point is a circle, since a circle is just a set of points which are all the same distance away from the center

The locus of points which are are the same distance from a point and a line is called a?
parabola
Is locus is center of circle or any point on circumference of circle?
The center isn't the locus, and a point on the circumference isn't the locus.The whole circumference of the circle is the locus.It's the locus of all points that have the same distance from the center of the circle.
What does parabola mean in mathematical terms?
It is the locus of all points such that their distance from a fixed line (the directrix) is the same as their distance from a fixed point which is not on that line (the focus).
Does the locus of points idea allow you to define objects in terms of points and given distances?
It can allow you to define shapes but that is not quite the same thing as an object.
Which is the locus of a point at which potential due to an isolated point charge is constant?
The locus of points where the potential due to an isolated point charge is constant is a spherical surface centered on the point charge. This is because the potential decreases with distance from the point charge, so points at the same distance will have the same potential.
A set of points the same distance from a given point?
A circle
A set of points that are ALL THE same distance from a given point?
The set of all points a given distance from a center point is a circle. The given distance is the radius, and the given point is the center. Or, in 3 dimensional space, a sphere.
What is the set of all points in space that are the same distance from a point?
The set of all points in space that are the same distance from a given point is called a sphere.
