The coordinates of the vertices of ∆ABC are A(4, 1), B(-3, 2) and C(0, k). Given that the area of ABC is 12 unit2, find the value of k.


Here, we have
x1 = 4    x2 = -3    x3 = 0
y1 = 1    y2 = 2    y3 = k
Now, Area of ∆ABC

equals 1 half left square bracket straight x subscript 1 left parenthesis straight y subscript 2 minus straight y subscript 3 right parenthesis plus straight x subscript 2 left parenthesis straight y subscript 3 minus straight y subscript 1 right parenthesis right square bracket
rightwards double arrow space space 12 equals 1 half left square bracket 4 left parenthesis 2 minus straight k right parenthesis plus left parenthesis negative 3 right parenthesis left parenthesis straight k minus 1 right parenthesis plus 0 left parenthesis 1 minus 2 right parenthesis right square bracket
rightwards double arrow space 12 equals 1 half left square bracket 11 minus 7 straight k right square bracket
rightwards double arrow space 24 space equals space 11 space minus space 7 straight k
rightwards double arrow 7 straight k equals 11 minus 24
rightwards double arrow 7 straight k equals negative 13
rightwards double arrow space straight k space equals space fraction numerator negative 13 over denominator 7 end fraction
Hence comma space the space value space of space straight k space is space fraction numerator negative 13 over denominator 7 end fraction
