Parabolas can be represented algebraically in the form of a quadratic function. Latus rectum is the line that passes right through the focus horizontally Axis of symmetry is the line that passes through the vertex vertically Focus is a point below or above or on the side of the vertex Directrix is a line that is derived by -a and is on the opposite side of focus Roots are the points on the x axis that intersect the parabola Urban Dictionary
