Video Definition 19--Quadratics Concepts--Axis of Symmetry

Topic

Quadratics

Description

Axis of Symmetry: The line that divides a parabola into mirror images of each other. The axis of symmetry intersects the vertex. This term is important in quadratic equations as it identifies the symmetry of the parabola, helping to find the vertex and solve problems involving the function. This term identifies the central symmetry of parabolas, critical for understanding their graph.
