Turning the equation into that of a line gives
y = -x + 4
The line is thus the equation of y = -x moved up by 4 units.
Therefore area of triangle so formed
= 1/2 x 4 x 4
= 8
Answer C
y = -x + 4
The line is thus the equation of y = -x moved up by 4 units.
Therefore area of triangle so formed
= 1/2 x 4 x 4
= 8
