By the geometric definition of a line, it is represented by two points, and all points on the line are collinear, between or extrapolating to infinity from the straight line made by the two points. In other words, a line is straight, and can be represented by a binomial function (example: y=2x+1). A parabola is a function, but cannot be described mathematically as a line.

What is the difference between a cubic and a parabola and line?
A cubic line is in a cube shape line. and Parabola is a straight line
How do you find the endpoints of a parabola when you have the function of the line?
A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.A parabola has no endpoints: it extends to infinity.
Can a parabola shape be in any direction?
Yes, but a parabola, itself, can have only a vertical line of symmetry.
What is the maximum number and the minimum number of intercepts for a parabola?
there can be 0, 1, 2, or infinite intercepts for a parabola 0 intercepts occurs when the parabola does not meet the 2nd line 1 occurs when the parabola intersects a line at the vertex 2 occurs when the line does not intersect at the vertex, but still intersects the parabola infinite occurs when there are 2 parabolas, that although they may be written differently, are the same on a graph.
What line divides the parabola where one point on one side of the parabola and the corresponding point on the other side?
the axis of symmetry
