Conic Sections: Graphing Parabolas

In this lesson I show how to graph parabolas from vertex form, by working through both a vertical and a horizontal example step-by-step. We identify the key parts of each parabola, including the vertex, axis of symmetry, focus, and directrix, and use the structure of the equation to quickly determine orientation and shape. By connecting the equation to the graph, you’ll learn a simple, consistent process for sketching any parabola accurately and confidently.
