Equation of a Parabola Vertex Focus Axis of Symmetry Directrix
Horizontal Axis Vertical Axis of Symmetry of Symmetry Equation of a Parabola Vertex Focus Axis of Symmetry Directrix Direction of Opening
4
Example: For the equation of each parabola, find the coordinates of the vertex and focus, the equations of the directrix and axis of symmetry. Then graph the equation.
5
Example: For the equation of each parabola, find the coordinates of the vertex and focus, the equations of the directrix and axis of symmetry. Then graph the equation.
6
Example: Using the graph below, write the equation for the parabola.
7
Example: Using the graph below, write the equation for the parabola.
