Question

Which statements describe a parabola? Check all that apply. A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from the directrix and focus. The fixed line is called the vertex of a parabola. The focus is a fixed point inside the parabola. The line of symmetry intersects the focus and directrix. The line of symmetry and the directrix are perpendicular. The parabola intersects the directrix.

Answer 1

1,3,4,5 are correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from the directrix and focus.

The line of symmetry intersects the focus and directrix

The line of symmetry and the directrix are perpendicular

Explanation:

A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a line (directrix).

The fixed line of a parabola is known as the directrix of the parabola.

The line of symmetry is a line that passes through the focus and is perpendicular to the directrix. The line of symmetry divides the parabola.

The directrix of a parabola does not intersect touch the parabola
