One concept describing this two-dimensional shape involves placing one focal point at infinity. This shape is formed by intersecting a plane with a cone parallel to its slant height. This conic section with eccentricity of (*) 1 can be defined as all points equidistant from its focus and its directrix, which is a line perpendicular to this shape's line of symmetry. For 10 points, name this shape traced by quadratic functions like y equals x squared.
