What are the equations for 3 lines whose graphs could form a triangle with an area of 36 square units?

Answer 1

One example is a triangle with base=9 and height =8

So the intercepts needed are (0,8) and (9,0)

the slope m=(8-0)/(0-9) = (-8/9)

y = mx+b = (-8/9)x + 8

so the lines triangle formed by the lines x=0, (a.k.a. the y-axis)

y=0 (a.k.a the x-axis)

, and y = (-8/9)x + 8
