You can put this solution on YOUR website! Calculate the area of the triangle with the following vertices: 6.  (-3, -3), (0, -3), (1, 1)
 
 7. (8, -2), (-0, -2), (2, -5)
 
 8. .(-9, 0), (-1, 2), (-5, 4)
 
 9. (3, -7), (6, 4), (-2, -3)
 ===============================
 
 10. A(-5,-7), B(-1,-7), C(-3,-4)
 A...B...C...A
 -5 -1 -3 -1
 -7 -7 -4 -7
 ------------------
 Get the sum of the diagonal products starting at the upper left.
 -5*-7 + -1*-4 + -3*-7 = 35 + 4 + 21 = 60
 -----
 Get the sum of the diagonal products starting at the lower left.
 -7*-1 + -7*-3 + -4*-1 = 7 + 21 + 4 = 32
 ============
 Area = 1/2 the difference = (60 - 32)/2
 Area = 14 sq units.
 Do the others the same way.
 Do the parallelograms below the same way, too.  It works for any # of points.
 -------------------
 Find the area of the parallelogram with the following vertices:
 11. (-2, 3), (5, 8), (3, 3), and (0, 8)
 
 12. (-2, 7), (-4, 4), (-11, 4), and (-9, 7)
 
 13. (-6, 6), (-6, 3), (-12, 3), and (-12, 6)
 
 14. (12, -3), (5, -6), (5, -3), and (12, -6)
 
 15. (-2, 2), (-6, 9), (-13, 9), and (-9, 2)
 
 Find the equation of the line that passes through the following points. Put your equation into slope-intercept form:
 16.  (4, 25), (8, 61)
 -------------------
 Using determinants:
 |x +y 1|
 |4 25 1| = 0
 |8 61 1|
 Note:  + is for alignment
 x*(25-61) - y*(4-8) + 1*(244-200) = 0
 -36x + 4y + 44 = 0
 y = 9x - 11
 ===============
 Do the others the same way.
 17. (-8, -1), (0, -1)
 18. (3, -41), (1, -9)
 19. (-6, -70), (4, 50)
 20. (9, -98), (0, 19)
 I'll be glad to check your work if you email via the Thank You note.
 PS  Don't put a space after the comma in the points.
