The area of the triangle formed by the line y = 2X-4 and the coordinate axis is () A. 2B. 4C. 8D. 16

The area of the triangle formed by the line y = 2X-4 and the coordinate axis is () A. 2B. 4C. 8D. 16

Let x = 0, then y = - 4, let y = 0, then x = 2, so the intersection points of the line y = 2X-4 and the two coordinate axes are (0, - 4), (2, 0), so the area of the triangle formed by the line y = 2X-4 and the two coordinate axes is 12 ×| - 4 | × 2 = 4
