Split the integral at x=0x=0 since y=xy=x changes sign there, and add the absolute areas.

The line y=xy=x is negative for x∈[−1,0]x\in[-1,0] and positive for x∈[0,4]x\in[0,4].

Area =∫−10∣x∣ dx+∫04x dx=\displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0}|x|\,dx+\int_0^4 x\,dx

∫−10(−x) dx=[−x22]−10=0−(−12)=12\int_{-1}^0(-x)\,dx=\left[-\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{-1}^{0}=0-\left(-\frac12\right)=\frac12
