\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The given line and the two axes form a right triangle with the right angle at the origin. The absolute value of the

-coordinate of the

-intercept is equal to the measure of one of the legs of the triangle. The absolute value of the

-coordinate of the

-intercept is equal to the measure of the other leg of the triangle. The product of the measures of the two legs of a right triangle divided by 2 is the area of the triangle.\r
