    A parabola is defined geometrically as the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed focus point and a fixed directrix line. The standard equation for a parabola with a vertical axis is x2 + (y - p)2 = (y + p)2, which simplifies to x = 4py. The standard equation for a parabola with a horizontal axis is y2 = 4px.
