In the step shown of the construction of a line through a point that is perpendicular to the given line, why must the compass point be placed on points a and b? how would the construction be different if the compass point were placed at random points on the original line?

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
