<h3>what is point slope formula?</h3>The equation of a straight line in the form y − y1 = m(x − x1) where m is the slope of the line and (x1, y1) are the coordinates of a given point on the line — compare slope-intercept form.
Now, we have to find the slope of AE, BF and CD.
We have to done this with help of coordinates.
So, we have to use point slope formula to find the slope of AE, BF and CD.

The area of figure ABCDEF can be computed as the sum of the areas of trapezoid ACDF and triangle ABC, less the area of trangle DEF.
trapezoid ACDF area = (1/2)(AC +DF)·(CD) = (1/2)(8+5)(6) = 39
triangle ABC area = (1/2)(AC)(2) = 8
triangle DEF area = (1/2)(DF)(2) = 5
Area of ABCDEF = (ACDF area) + (ABC area) - (DEF area) = 39 +8 -5 = 42
The actual area of ABCDEF is 42 square units.
