Area of Triangle in Coordinate Plane

In a coordinate plane, points A, B, and C are defined as follows:

Point A is located at (2, 3), Point B at (2, -1), and Point C at (5, 3).

What is the area of triangle ABC?

Use the formula for the area of a triangle given by the vertices at coordinates (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃):

$$ ext{Area} =\frac{1}{2} imes | x_1 (y_2 - y_3) + x_2 (y_3 - y_1) + x_3 (y_1 - y_2) |$$
