Step-by-Step Solution

The area of a triangle with vertices $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$, and $(x_3, y_3)$ is given by: $A = \frac{1}{2} |\begin{matrix}x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\ x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\ x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{matrix}|$ Therefore, $|\begin{matrix}x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\ x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\ x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{matrix}| = \pm 2A$

Correct Answer: |\begin{matrix}x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\ x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\ x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{matrix}|=\pm2A
