Axis of Symmetry of a Parabola

 Axis of Symmetry 


Picture of Axis of symmetry of a parabola Every parabola has an axis of symmetry which is the line that runs down its center. This line divides the graph into two perfect halves.

In the picture of on the left, the axis of symmetry is the line x =1.
