The equation

\sqrt {{{\left( {x - 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {y - 1} \right)}^2}} + \sqrt {{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {y - 4} \right)}^2}} = 5

represents

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Line segment

The correct answer is C (Line segment) because the sum of distances from a point to two fixed points equals the distance between the fixed points, which is the definition of a line segment.
