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| | || | || | || | || | || | |


How do you call the points in a line?

All points on the same line are colinear but if you mean what are the points all called collectively - they represent a "locus of points".
