2x+2y = 70
an intercept is when the other variable is zero. Having length or width = 0 isn't too useful.
Mr. Bigelow's garden is a rectangle with dimensions x feet long and y feet wide. Its perimeter is 70 feet.
a. Write a function to represent the perimeter of his garden.
b. What are the x- and y-intercepts of the function?
c. Does either intercept make sense as a solution for this situation?
Explain.
Can someone teach me how to do this? I don't understand.
