Its area is 24 square units.

3y = -4 x + 24
y = -4/3 x + 8

The last equation is the equation for the line which defines part of the triangle. To find out where the line intersects the y and x-axis, we simply let x = 0 to find y and y = 0 to find x.

Let x = 0. Then y = 8. So the triangle is 8 units high (h = 8).

Let y = 0. Then x = 6. So the base of the triangle is 6 units long (b = 6).

The triangle is bounded by the points (0, 0), (0, 8) and (6, 0).

Now, to find the area of the triangle, we simply use the following formula and substitute in our calculated values for the base (b) and height (h):

A = ½ b h
A = ½ (6)(8)
A = ½ (48)
A = 24 square units

4x+3y= 24
first find the intercept points
when x = 0 y = 8
when y = 0 x = 6

it's a right angle triangle. you can plot it as well..
Then you can use the formula to find the area of the triangle which is 1/2 base * height

here base is x = 6
height is y = 8
area = 1/2 (6) (8) = 24

4x + 3y = 24
4x/24 + 3y/24 = 1 . . . . . . divide all by 24
x / 6 + y / 8 = 1
intercept (6, 8)
the sides of the triangle are 6,8,10
area = 1/2 ( 6 ) ( 8 ) = 24

If that has something to do with a triangle, you are missing some information.

When you find it, the area of a triangle =
1/2 base times height

It's not a triangle. Are you supposed to intersect it with the x and y axes to form a triangle, perhaps?

its actually a line
