What is the locus of points in a plane that are equidistant from two fixed points?
I believe that is the definition of a straight line.
Which of these is the best definition for ellipse?
It is the locus of points such that the sum of their distance from two distinct fixed points is a constant.
What is the locus of points 3 inches from each of two parallel lines that are 6 inches apart?
The definition of locus given by Math Open Reference (mathopenref.com): A shape created by the set of points whose position satisfies a given set of rules.To be three inches from each of the two lines means that all the points of the locus are directly between the two given lines. Thus, the locus for this problem is a line parallel to and centered between the two parallel lines.i n c h e s0 3 6L1 locus L2| | || | || | || | || | || | |
What is the locus point equidistant from two points AB that are 8 cm apart?
The locus point is the perpendicular bisector of AB. The locus point is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
A line is the locus of points which what?
A line is the locus of points such that the gradient (slope) between that point and one fixed point in the plane is a constant. Technically, that definition does not include a vertical line because its gradient is not defined! You could get around that this by requiring that either the gradient is a constant or, if it is undefined, then the inverse gradient (dx/dy) is constant.
