Answer:
A graph showing a range of negative three to two on the x and y axes. A dotted line with arrows at both ends that passes through the x axis at two and runs parallel to the y axis. The graph is shaded to the left of the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality given is x < 2. This means x is less than two are the values that satisfy the equation.
The equation can be written as x=2 to identify the position where the line will pass. The line is dotted and will pass through x=2 to be parallel with the y-axis.
The second and third answers are not correct because the line should not be solid.
The first answer is not correct because the shaded part should be to the left of the line.
The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.
Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is
We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):
We could call that done. A more standard form might be
