Answer: The area of the figure is 24 units.
Explanation:
After plotting, the given points on the graph, we can observe that it is a parallelogram(opposite sides are equal and parallel)
Height = 4-1 = 3 units
Base = 2-(-6) = 8 units
Area of parallelogram = Base x height
= 8 x 3 square units.
= 24 square units.
Hence, the area of the figure is 24 units.
