What does the axis of symmetry of a parabola mean?

If you had a piece of paper in the shape of the parabola, the axis of symmetry is the line on the paper where you could fold it, and the two edges would exactly come together. It's the line right down the middle of the parabola.

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two equal halves. It passes through the vertex, and can be found using the formula x = − 2 a b ​ for parabolas described by the equation y = a x 2 + b x + c . This line is essential for graphing parabolas and understanding their properties.
