Find the area of the triangle formed by the line 3x - 4y + 12 = 0 with the coordinate axes .A. 6 `"units"^(2)`B. `12 "units"^(2)`C. `1 "units"^(2)`D. `36 "units"^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(i) Area `= 1/2|(c^(2))/(ab)|`, when the equation of the line is `ax+by + c = 0`.
(ii) if a and b are x- and y-intercepts, then the area of the triangle formed by the line with coordination axes is `|(ab)/(2)|` ,
