A parabola is a curved line with particular characteristics. Any point on the curve is the same distance from a fixed point and a fixed straight line. The result looks like half of an ellipse or the ...

Quadratic graph lines are U- or Ո-shaped, which is called a parabola. A linear graph can be drawn using only three points. A quadratic graph is a curve, so more points are plotted to support accuracy.

Many, many years ago, during my Algebra 2 class, we had the classic assignment of graphing parabolas. After a while of “select X, calculate Y,” I came to the conclusion that there had to be a simpler ...

A quadratic graph is any graph which has an \(\text{x}^2\) in its equation. We draw them in a very similar way to straight-line graphs and will need to substitute values into the equation. All ...
