You can put this solution on YOUR website! No maximum area for your description exists because this has no limit. One vertex is the y-intercept for the given line and another vertex is the origin. Your description gives no bound or restriction for how far to the left on the x axis the base extends. The rectangle, as described with the given line, is in quadrant number 2, as a quick sketch will show.

find the maximum area of rectangle with base on x-axis and one side on y-axis and one vertex on line y=-5x+90
Point on y-axis, where x = 0: (0, 90)
Point on x-axis, where y = 0: (18, 0)
Area, since dimensions are 90 by 18 =  square units
You can do the check!!
