👉 Directrix is a term used in mathematics and geometry that refers to the line of symmetry for a conic section, such as a parabola or ellipse. It is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and passes through the center of the circle defined by the equation of the conic section. In other words, directrices are lines on the surface of a conic section that pass through the focus of the conic (the point where the curve meets the x-axis) and are parallel to the
