Find the area of the triangle whose sides lie on the graphs of
3x + y + 1 = 0,
x + 4y -7 = 0, and
-5x + 2y + 13 = 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Plot 3x + y + 1 = 0, x + 4y -7 = 0, and -5x + 2y + 13 = 0

Solve the system, find the coordinate of vertices, find the side dimensions and apply the Heron's formula.
