  • The image displays a two-dimensional coordinate system with the horizontal axis labeled \(x\) and the vertical axis labeled \(y\).
  • A curve, which appears to be the rightward opening half of a parabola, is drawn in the first and second quadrants.
  • A point is marked on the positive side of the x-axis at the coordinates (2, 0) and is labeled "focus".
  • Several angles, labeled \(\theta\), are indicated using arc notations near the focus, suggesting the use of polar or angular measurements relative to the focus.
  • A horizontal dashed line passes through the focus, and the curve appears to be symmetrical around the x-axis in the immediate vicinity of the focus.
