Section 7.2 – Parabolas Parabola – set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point (d(F, P)) and a fixed line (d (P, D)). Focus - the fixed point of a parabola. Directrix - the fixed line of a parabola. Axis of Symmetry Directrix Axis of Symmetry – The line that goes through the focus and is perpendicular to the directrix. Focus Vertex – the point of intersection of the axis of symmetry and the parabola. Vertex Latus Rectum – the line segment through the focus and parallel to the directrix. Latus Rectum
