The standard form equation for perimeter from previous exercise 36 is  \"\"

\

First find the y-intercept.

\

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

\

\"\"                                   (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

\

\"\"                                         (Multiply: \"\")

\

\"\"                                               (Apply additive identity property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                          (Divide each side by 2)

\

\"\"                                               (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                                                 (Divide: \"\")

\

The y-intercept is 15.

\

\"\"

\

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

\

\"\"                                   (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

\

\"\"                                         (Multiply: \"\")

\

\"\"                                               (Additive identity property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                          (Divide each side by 4)

\

\"\"                                               (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                                                (Divide: \"\")

\

The x-intercept is 7.5.

\

\"\"

\

The x-intercept is 7.5

\

The y-intercept is 15.
