equation of line 3x+4y =8
step `1: determination of x-intercept
put y =0 in the above equation to find out x-intercept
3x+4*0=8
3x= 8
divide with 3 on both sides

step 2 : determination of y-intercept

put x=0 to get y-intercept
3*0 +4y =8
4y = 8
diide with 4 on both sides
4y/4 = 8/4
y= 2
Step 3: determination of area
Formula : Area =

=
=2.667
Result : Area is 8/3 or 2.667
