    The passages discuss finding equations of lines, intersection points of lines, and calculating areas of triangles from given information.

    Find the gradient of each line and use them to write the equations of the lines in y=mx+c form. Then set the equations equal to each other and solve for x and y.

    Find the rise and run between the two points to calculate the gradient m. Then use the points in the form y-y1=m(x-x1) and solve for c.
