If a point moves in a plane in such a way that it is equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point (not on the line), the curve so traced is called Correct Answer Parabola

A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed line and fixed point (not on the line) in the plane.

The fixed line is called the directrix of the parabola and the fixed-point F is called the focus.
