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

3. What is a parabola's axis of symmetry?

   • 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. What is the equation of a parabola?
