Question

question 8 of 10 which of the following best describes a parabola? a. the set of all points in a plane at a given distance from a given point b. the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from two points and a single line c. the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from two points d. the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a single point and a single line

Explanation:

A parabola is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a single - point (the focus) and a single line (the directrix). Option A describes a circle. Option B is an incorrect combination. Option C describes the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the two points.

Answer:

D. The set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a single point and a single line
