QuestionWhat is the area of a triangle with vertices at $(-4,1),(-7,5)$, and $(0,1)$ ?

Studdy Solution
Calculate the area using the substituted values:
$= \frac{1}{2} \left| (-4)(4) + (-7)(0) + (0)(-4) \right|$ $= \frac{1}{2} \left| -16 + 0 + 0 \right|$ $= \frac{1}{2} \times 16$ $= 8$
The area of the triangle is:
$$\boxed{8}$$
