Question 715519: Find the area of the triangle formed by the (x,y)-axes and the line with equation 4x+3y-12=0 Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The x- and y-intercepts of the line with equation <--> are easy to find.
For --> --> --> -->
gives you point (0,4) as the y-intercept.
For --> --> --> -->
gives you point (3,0) as the x-intercept.
Those 2 points and point (0,0) , the origin, are the vertices of your triangle:
You could say that the length of the base of your triangle is units
and the height is units,
so the area (in square units) is
