Axis Of Symmetry

Front

What is the axis of symmetry in a parabola?

Back

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves. It passes through the vertex of the parabola.

What is the significance of the axis of symmetry in graphing parabolas?

Back

The axis of symmetry helps in sketching the graph of the parabola, as it indicates where the parabola is symmetric.

Front

If a parabola opens upwards, where is the vertex located in relation to the axis of symmetry?

Back

The vertex is the lowest point on the parabola and lies on the axis of symmetry.
