Axis of Symmetry Definition – the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point, called the focus, and a given line called the directrix F p p V Directrix
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.
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.
Example: • Using the graph below, write the equation for the parabola.
Example: • Using the graph below, write the equation for the parabola.
Example: • Write the equation of the parabola that meets each set of conditions. The vertex is (-4, 5), the parabola opens to the left, and the focus is 5 units from the vertex.
Example: • Write the equation of the parabola that meets each set of conditions. The parabola has a focus of and a minimum point at (-1, -1).
Example: • Solve for x.
