Answer:
The area of the triangle is [tex]A=4\ units^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
A(0, −2),B (0, −3) and C(8, -3)
Plot the vertices
see the attached figure
Triangle ABC is a righ triangle
The area of the triangle ABC is equal to
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(BC)(AB)[/tex]
[tex]BC=8-0=8\ units[/tex]
[tex]AB=-2-(-3)=1\ units[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(8)(1)[/tex]
[tex]A=4\ units^{2}[/tex]
