All of the points on a parabola define a parabola. However, the vertex is the point in which the y value is only used for one point on the parabola.
i think its the vertex.
It is called the directrix.

The abscissa is another name for the x (horizontal) coordinate of a point. Pronounced "ab-SISS-ah" (the 'c;' is silent). Not used very much. Most commonly, the term "x-coordinate" is used. The ordinate is another name for the y (vertical) coordinate of a point. Pronounced "ORD-inet". Not used very much. Most commonly, the term "y-coordinate" is used.

The parabola is a type of conic section, . The problem is that this is not a descriptive as the if the word "parabola" is used. The reason is that it is not the only geometric shape that can be derived by slicing a cone with a plane. Use the link below to see a drawing and learn more.

The true turning point of the Civil War was the seizure of Vicksburg, but it was really the result of a siege.
