Find the area of the following triangles whose vertices have the given coordinates.
9) (-4, -1), (3, 2), and (4, 6) 10) (4, -5), (3, -8), and (-1, 3)

11) A surveying crew located three points on a map that formed the vertices of a triangular area.
A coordinate grid in which one unit equals 10 miles is placed over the map so that the vertices are
located at (0, –1), (–2, –6), and (3, –2). Use a determinant to find the area of the triangle.

12)
Find the Inverse of each matrix, if it exists.
