the two lines y = x and x = - 8 intersect on the coordinate plane . what is the value of the area of the figure formed by the intersecting lines and the x - axis ?
"the point of intersection is ( - 8 , - 8 ) . the triangle has a base of length 8 and a height of 8 . area = ( 1 / 2 ) * base * height = ( 1 / 2 ) * 8 * 8 = 32 the answer is b ."
divide(multiply(8, 8), const_2)
