Parabolas may open upward or downward and vary in "width" or "steepness" but they all have the same basic "U" shape. All parabolas are symmetric with respect to a line called the axis of symmetry. A parabola intersects its axis of symmetry at a point called the vertex of the parabola. The graph of a quadratic function is a curve called a parabola.
