Answer:

2

Explanation:

Use the area of a triangle, given 3 points formula:

A: (x1, y1) = (0,4)

B: (x2, y2) = (2,4)

C: (x3, y3) = (-1,6)

Area = 1/2|x1y2 - x2y1 + x2y3 - x3y2 + x3y1 - x1y3|

plug in all the coordinates

Area = 1/2|(0·4) - (2·4) + (2·6) - (-1·4) + (-1·4) - (0·6)|

= 1/2|0 - 8 + 12 + 4 - 4 - 0|

= 1/2|-8 + 12 + 4 - 4|

= 1/2|4|

= 2
