We will determine a parabola.
Given the position p of the axis and two distinct points,
we will determine a parabola that passes through those two points and has the axis at x = p.
Let the equation of the parabola be of the form y = ax² + bx + c.
The form of the equation after completing the square is y = a(x - p)² + q.
Enter the position p of the axis.
Enter the x-coordinate of point ①.
Enter the y-coordinate of point ①.
Enter the x-coordinate of point ②.
Enter the y-coordinate of point ②.

Assign different coordinates to points ① and ② (this is a linear function).
Also, avoid coordinates that are axisymmetric.
(This results in an indeterminate solution because there are infinitely many possible curves.)
