Parabolas

1. A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from: a fixed point (the focus ), and a fixed straight line (the directrix )

2. The vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry.

3. Every parabola has an axis of symmetry which is the line that runs down its 'center'. This line divides the graph into two perfect halves.

4. The standard form of a parabola's equation is generally expressed: y=ax2+bx+c
