A parabola is a type of graph that is not linear, and mostly curved.

A parabola has the "x squared" sign in it's equation.

A parabola is not only curved, but all the symmetrical.

The symmetrical point, the middle of the parabola is called the vertex.

You can graph this graph with the vertex, x-intercepts and a y-intercept.

A parabola that has a positive x squared would be a smile parabola, and the one with the negative x squared would be a frown parabola.

Also, there are the parabolas that are not up or down, but sideways

Those parabolas have x=y squared, instead of y = x squared.
