listen to Pepper and make sure you understand how she describes the solution; she is right on!!! also, make sure you vote her answer as best answer as she deserves the 10 points given for this!!!!
Reply:b.2





This is a compound locus problem. Do each part separately and see where the results intersect. First, the points equidistant from the two parallel lines is a third parallel line half way between the two given lines Draw this line as a dotted line. Second, the points equidistant from point A form a circle. Draw the circle dotted. Look for the intersections of the dotted drawings. The dotted circle intersects the dotted line in two places.
