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.
