    A parabola is defined as the set of all points equidistant from a fixed line called the directrix and a point called the focus. A parabola is a type of conic section formed by the intersection of a plane and a right circular cone. The three basic conic sections are parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas, which can be defined by quadratic equations. Parabolas can have either a vertical or horizontal axis of symmetry and their properties include a vertex, focus, directrix, and focal width.
