Answer:

ellipse

Step-by-step explanation:

Yea that's pretty much the definition of an ellipse. The points in this case would be the "foci"

The term that best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant is an ellipse. This can be obtained by understanding what an ellipse is.

What is an Ellipse?

A set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant.

  • Equation of an ellipse, [tex](\frac{x}{a})^{2} +(\frac{y}{b})^{2}=1[/tex]
  • Two focal points  
  • Major axis = 2a, Minor axis = 2b
  • Distance between foci= 2c
  • a²=b²+c²  
  • d₁ and d₂ be distances from any point to foci, then d₁+d₂= constant

Hence the term that best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant is an ellipse.
