Is a parabola a line?
By the geometric definition of a line, it is represented by two points, and all points on the line are collinear, between or extrapolating to infinity from the straight line made by the two points. In other words, a line is straight, and can be represented by a binomial function (example: y=2x+1). A parabola is a function, but cannot be described mathematically as a line.
What geometric figure is described as the set of points equidistant from a fixed point?
It could be a circle or a sphere
What is defined as the distance between two points?
The metric of a geometric space is defined as the distance between two points.
What is an oval shape with two points?
An ellipse? The shape described is not an exactly describable geometric shape, (), and as far as I know there is no name for it.
Which geometric object is the shortest path between two points?
line segment

Where is true of a geometric straight line?
It is an collection of an infinite number of points.
Are the only geometric objects that can be defined using the locus of points are straight lines circles and angle bisectors?
No, they are not the only geometric objects.

What is defined as the distance between two points?
The metric of a geometric space is defined as the distance between two points.
The only geometric objects which can be defined using the locus of points idea is a straight line circle and angle bisector?
False, other geometric objects exist which can be defined as a parrticular locus of points, such as the parabola and the hyperbola.
What geometric figure consisting of two points on a line and all the points between them?
line segment
What is an oval shape with two points?
An ellipse? The shape described is not an exactly describable geometric shape, (), and as far as I know there is no name for it.
Which geometric object is the shortes path between two points?
Line segment.
What geometric object is the shortest path between two points?
2D line.
Which geometric object is the shortest path between two points?
line segment
Is a line a geometric figure?
YES!!! It is the shortest distance between two points.
