Answer:
A point on either side of the line
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which side to shade, you look at a point on each side of the line. One will make the inequality true and one will not. Shade on the side that will make the inequality true
The correct answer is option D:)
Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like that.
now, the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, so that puts it where you see it in the picture, and the horizontal parabola is opening to the left-hand-side, meaning that the distance "P" is negative.
