So basically, for question 1, you first need to rearrange the formula you are given for the line. This rearranges to: y=-3/4(x)+6 So from this equation you can draw on where the line meets the axes. So go ahead and sub 0 in for x and then for y. You should get 2 coordinates: (8,0) and (0,6) You'll notice, if you draw the line through both of these points, that you get a right-angled triangle made of the points (0,0), (8,0) and (0,6). You should hopefully find the last part quite easy, as you can see, the lengths of either side of the triangle are 6 and 8. So for the last step, just do (6*8)/2 Thus, the area = 24.
