Focus has coordinates (0, a)
a = -3
Thus, 4a = 4(-3) = -12
Because a is negative, we know it will be a concave down or concave left parabola. Hence, A and D can be eliminated. And we know it has to be B because the directrix is the horizontal line y = 3. Hence, the equation of the parabola becomes:
or 
a = -3

Because a is negative, we know it will be a concave down or concave left parabola. Hence, A and D can be eliminated. And we know it has to be B because the directrix is the horizontal line y = 3. Hence, the equation of the parabola becomes:
Use the formula:
B refers to the base and H refers to the height of the triangle.
As such, multiply both the base and height of the triangle and divide the answer by 2, to find the area of the triangle.
