For this kind of problem, it is always desirable to make a sketch within the limits of the domain, from x=-9 to 18.
See:

Using the formula for the area of a triangle as:
Area = (1/2)base*height
You can find the areas of the two triangles between the function and the x-axis.
If you need further help, don't hesitate to post.
Can anyone help with the following problem please...Thank u so much
Let f(x) =|9x|. For the area above the x-axis and between the lines x= -9 and x=18
a. draw and label a sketch with
the area shaded
b. find the area of the region in
the xy-plane under the graph
of f(x)
