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.

Front

Which point does the axis of symmetry of a parabola not always contain?

Back

The y-intercept.

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the graph of a parabola, depending on its orientation.

Front

What does it mean for a parabola to have a maximum or minimum value?

Back

A parabola has a maximum value if it opens downwards (the vertex is the highest point) and a minimum value if it opens upwards (the vertex is the lowest point).
