The exercise asks to calculate:

1. **The distance of point \( C \) from the line \( l \)**.
2. **The area of triangle \( ABC \)**, where vertices \( A \) and \( B \) are the points where line \( l \) intersects the coordinate axes.

Let's break it down for both parts (a) and (b):

### Part (a)
The line is given as:
\[
l: y = 3x + 6
\]
The point \( C \) has coordinates \( C(2, -4) \).

#### Step 1: Calculate the distance from \( C(2, -4) \) to the line \( l: y = 3x + 6 \).

The distance from a point \((x_1, y_1)\) to a line in the form \(Ax + By + C = 0\) is given by the formula:
\[
d = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}
\]
We first rewrite the line equation in the standard form:
\[
3x - y + 6 = 0
\]
Now, use the distance formula with \(A = 3\), \(B = -1\), and \(C = 6\), and the point \((x_1, y_1) = (2, -4)\).

#### Step 2: Find points \( A \) and \( B \).

To find where the line intersects the axes:
- For the **x-intercept** \(A\), set \(y = 0\) in \(y = 3x + 6\).
- For the **y-intercept** \(B\), set \(x = 0\) in \(y = 3x + 6\).

#### Step 3: Calculate the area of triangle \(ABC\).

The area of a triangle with vertices \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) is given by:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right|
\]

### Part (b)
The line is given as:
\[
l: y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 4
\]
The point \( C \) has coordinates \( C(1, -1) \).

Follow the same steps as in part (a):
1. Use the distance formula to calculate the distance of \( C(1, -1) \) from the line \( l \).
2. Find the intercepts \( A \) and \( B \).
3. Use the intercepts and the point \( C \) to calculate the area of triangle \(ABC\).
