Question 623729: Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line, and find the area and the perimeter of the triangle formed by the line and the axes.
A) 3x + 5y = 15
I have gotten both intercepts, which are, x-intercept-5, y-intercept-3.
I cannot understand how to find the area and perimeter.

Hi
Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line, and find the area and the perimeter of the triangle formed by the line and the axes.
A) 3x + 5y = 15
I have gotten both intercepts, which are, x-intercept(5,0) y-intercept (0,3).
Plot points, connect with line. units^2
