Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-48\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the equation of the line be \(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\). \(\frac{1}{2} |ab| = 12 \Rightarrow |ab| = 24\). Line passes through \((12,4)\): \(\frac{12}{a} + \frac{4}{b} = 1\). \(P = ab^2 0\)). Since \(a From…
