- Point is .
-
Find the coordinates of point :
- Point is the intersection of and .
- Line is .
- Line has endpoints and .
- The equation of line can be found using the slope formula:
- The equation of the line is .
-
Find the coordinates of point :
- Since lies on , .
- Substitute into the equation of :
- Therefore, point is .
-
Calculate the area of triangle :
- The coordinates of are .
- The coordinates of are .
- The coordinates of are .
Since points and are the same in this case, triangle is degenerate, meaning it has zero area.
Therefore, the area of triangle is .
