Proof
(a) Let C be the line segment joining \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) and \(\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)\).
Show that \(\int_{C}-y d x+x d y=x_{1} y_{2}-x_{2} y_{1}\).
(b) Let \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right),\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right), \ldots,\left(x_{n}, y_{n}\right)\) be the vertices of a polygon. Prove that the area enclosed is
\(\frac{1}{2}\left[\left(x_{1} y_{2}-x_{2} y_{1}\right)+\left(x_{2} y_{3}-x_{3} y_{2}\right)+\cdots+\right\).
\(\left.\left(x_{n-1} y_{n}-x_{n} y_{n-1}\right)+\left(x_{n} y_{1}-x_{1} y_{n}\right)\right]\)
