Upper & Lower Sums! PLEASE! URGENT!

I am just so lost with this one and my book doesnt have any examples on how to work this specific problem. Any help would be great. THANKS!!!!......
Hi, I am doing a worksheet for tomorrow's Calc class and I can't solve the following question! Can someone please explain to me how this is done?

Find the upper and lower sums of f(x)=-2x+4
Interval: [0, 2]
4 subintervals equal in length

I am just so lost with this one and my book doesn't have any examples on how to work this specific problem. Any help would be great. THANKS!!!! :)

4 intervals, so interval width is 2/4 = 1/2.

summing with left edge determining height,
S = ½(f(0) + f(1/2) + f(1) + f(3/2))
S = ½(4 + 3 + 2 + 1)
S = 5

summing with right edge determining height,
S = ½( f(1/2) + f(1) + f(3/2) + f(2))
S = ½(3 + 2 + 1 + 0)
S = 3

average of the 2 values is 4
and area of the triangle is ½•base•height = ½(2)(4) = 4
