The line perpendicular to the directrix and passing through the focus (that is, the line that splits the parabola through the middle) is called the `axis of symmetry`. The point on the axis of symmetry that intersects the parabola is called the `vertex`, and it is the point where the curvature is greatest. The distance between the vertex and t...
