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.

It is a line that is also parallel to them and exactly halfway between them.
Parallel
Parallel lines will never intersect. They will stay an equal distance apart at all points.
They are called parallel lines
Lines can by parallel or not parallel. This property does not apply to points.
It is a line that is also parallel to them and exactly halfway between them.
Parallel
Parallel lines are the same distance apart for all points along the line.
Parallel lines will never intersect. They will stay an equal distance apart at all points.
the parallel lines never intercept so they do not have any common points.

Lines can by parallel or not parallel. This property does not apply to points.
They are parallel lines
That is the correct spelling of "parallel lines" (coplanar lines always a fixed distance apart).
They are parallel lines
They are parallel lines
2 lines the same width apart are parallel.
