Question:
Find the area of the triangle formed by the lines y - x = 0, x + y = 0 and x - k = 0
Answer:

Given equation of lines are: 

y - x = 0 ..........1

x + y = 0 .........2

x - k = 0 ..........3

From euqation 1 and 2 , we get

x =0 , y= 0

From euqation 2 and 3 , we get

x =k , y= -k

From euqation 1 and 3 , we get

x =k , y= k

Now the points are (0,0), (k,-k), (k,k)

Now if three points (x1 ,y1 ), (x2 ,y2 ), (x3 ,y3 ) are given then area of triangle is

      (1/2)*|x1 (y2 -y3 ) + x2 (y3 -y1 ) + x3 (y1 - y2 )|

   = (1/2)*|0(-k-k) + k(k-0) + k(0+k)|

   = (1/2)*|k2 + k2 |

   = 2k2 /2

   = k2

So area of triangle is k2
