Question
A line is the locus of points that:A.are the same distance from a directrix and a focus.B.are the same distance from two points.C.have the same sum of distances from two points.D.are the same distance from one point.
Solution
The correct answer is B. A line is the locus of points that are the same distance from two points. This is essentially the definition of a line - a straight path that extends in both directions without end (infinite length) and has no thickness or width. The two points can be any two points along the line.
