Answer:

Part 1 : Figure show the graph of triangle

Part 2 : The area of triangle is 4 sqaure units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points A(1, -3), B(3, -1) and C(5, -3) make triangle.

Part 1:

Figure show the graph of triangle with A(1, -3), B(3, -1) and C(5, -3)  as vertices.

Part 2: Find the area of the triangle.

The area of triangle is given by A=[tex]\frac{(Base)(height)}{2}[/tex]

From figure, Take base as length of AC

Length of line is given by L=[tex]\sqrt{(X1-X2)^{2}+(Y1-Y2)^{2} }[/tex]

Now, Base = length of AC

Base =[tex]\sqrt{(X1-X2)^{2}+(Y1-Y2)^{2} }[/tex]

        =[tex]\sqrt{(1-5)^{2}+((-3)-(-3))^{2}}[/tex]

        =[tex]\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(0)^{2}}[/tex]

        =[tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex]

        =4units

and Height as difference of y-component of point A and point B

Height = (y of component of point B)- (y of component of point A)

           = (-1)- (-3)

           = 2units

Therefore, The area of triangle is given by A=[tex]\frac{(Base)(height)}{2}[/tex]

A=[tex]\frac{(4)(2)}{2}[/tex]

A=4 sqaure units
