Answer:
Option A.12 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
[tex]A(-2,2), B(1,2), C(0,-6)[/tex]
Plot the vertices
see the attached figure
we know that
The area of triangle is equal to
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)[/tex]
where
[tex]b=AB=(1-(-2))=3\ units[/tex]
[tex]h=(2-(-6))=8\ units[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(3)(8)[/tex]
[tex]A=12\ units^{2}[/tex]
