Answer:

16 square units

Explanation:

You want the area of the triangle bounded by the x- and y-axes and the line y = -2x +8.

Intercepts

The line has a y-intercept of +8, and an x-intercept of +4. This means the triangle height is 8 units and its base is 4 units.

Area

The area is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(4 units)(8 units) = 16 square units
