Q. Parabola is symmetric with respect to the axis of the parabola.
I. If the equation has a term $y^2$, then the axis of symmetry is along the $X$-axis.
II. If the equation has a term $x^2$, then the axis of symmetry is along the $Y$-axis.

Solution:

Parabola is symmetric with respect to the axis of the parabola. If the equation has a $y^2$ term, then the axis of symmetry is along the $X$-axis and if the equation has an $x^2$ term, then the axis of symmetry is along the $Y$-axis.
