Find the values of k so that the area of the triangle with vertices (1,-1), (-4, 2k) and (-k, 5) is 24 sq. units


The vertices of the given ΔABC are A(1 ,-1), B( -4, 2k ) and C (-k, 5) 

Area of ΔABC =

equals 1 half space left square bracket straight x subscript 1 space left parenthesis straight y subscript 2 space minus straight y subscript 3 right parenthesis space plus space straight x subscript 2 space left parenthesis straight y subscript 3 minus straight y subscript 1 right parenthesis space plus space straight x subscript 3 left parenthesis straight y subscript 1 space minus straight y subscript 2 right parenthesis right square bracket

equals 1 half left square bracket 1 space left parenthesis 2 straight k plus space 5 right parenthesis space minus 4 left parenthesis negative 5 space plus 1 right parenthesis space minus space straight k left parenthesis space minus 1 space minus 2 straight k right parenthesis right square bracket

equals 1 half left parenthesis 2 straight k space plus space 5 space plus space 16 space plus straight k space plus 2 straight k squared right parenthesis

equals 1 half left parenthesis 2 straight k squared space plus 3 straight k space plus 21 right parenthesis space saqure space units
It space is space given space that
Area space of space increment ABC space equals space 24 space square space units
therefore 1 half space left parenthesis 2 straight k squared space plus space 3 straight k space plus 21 right parenthesis equals space 48
rightwards double arrow space 2 straight k squared space plus 3 straight k space plus 21 space equals space 48 space

rightwards double arrow space 2 straight k squared space plus 9 straight k space minus 6 straight k space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow space straight k space left parenthesis 2 straight k space plus 9 right parenthesis space minus 3 space left parenthesis 2 straight k space plus 9 right parenthesis space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow left parenthesis straight k minus space 3 right parenthesis space left parenthesis 2 straight k space plus space 9 right parenthesis space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow straight k minus 3 space equals space 0 space or space 2 straight k space plus 9 space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow space straight k minus space 3 space equals space 0 space or space 2 straight k space plus 9 space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow straight k space equals 3 space or space straight k space equals space minus 9 over 2
Thus space value space of space straight k space is space 3 space or space fraction numerator negative 9 over denominator 2 end fraction
