The line will have (6,0), (0,8).
It is a right triangle with base 8 and height 6.
The area is 1/2 × 6 × 8 = 24.

Given; x/6 + y/8 = 1
To Find; the area of the triangle formed by the line x/6 + y/8 = 1 with the coordinate axis
Solution; Comparing the given equation with the standard equation
x/a+ y/b=1
a=6 b=8
So the x-intercept is 6 and the y-intercept is 8
Base=6 height=8
Area =base*height/2=48/2=24
Hence the area of a triangle is 24
