A=b*h/2

CD is the base of the triangle. Find the length of CD using the distance formula.
EF is the altitude of the triangle. Find the length of EF using the distance formula.
Area = 1/2 * CD * EF

Check your numbers.
OpenStudy (e.mccormick):
\(\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{((-1)-3)^2+(2-(-2))^2}\cdot \sqrt{(2-0)^2+(3-1)^2}\)
Always best to write it out. Then you can be sure yourself, rather than just relying on others.
