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.
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.
