Answer
A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from the focus and directrix.
Work Step by Step
We have the parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from the focus and directrix. Another description of a parabola is as a conic section. And the graph of any quadratic equation is a parabola. All parabolas have an axis of symmetry and the point at which the axis of symmetry intersects the parabola is called the vertex of the parabola and the vertex of the parabola lies half way between the focus and the directory.
We draw the graph of the quadratic equation as $y={{x}^{2}}$.
