उत्तर
`Let A(x_1,y_1)= A (1,-3),B(x_2,y_2)=B(4,P) and C (x_3,y_3)= C(-9,7) Now`
`"Area" (ΔABC) = 1/2[x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]`
`⇒15=1/2 [1(p-7)+4(7+3)-9(-3-p)]`
`⇒15=1/2[10p+60]`
`⇒ |10p +60|=30`
Therefore
⇒ 10p + 60 = -30 or 30
⇒ 10p = -90 or -30
⇒ p = -9 or -3
Hence , p= -9 or p= -3.
