So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.
The Y-intercept is the point at which the graph intersects the y-axis

The formula for the area of a triangle of base b and altitude h is A = (1/2)(b)(h).
Here, b = 18 cm and h = 9 cm. Thus, the desired area is:
(18 cm)(9 cm)
A = ----------------------- = 81 cm^2
2
This problem gives you more info than is needed to solve it. The area of the given triangle is 81 cm^2.
1) (-4,0)lowest and highest x values
2) (2,3)lowest and highest y values
3) (-2,0] point where the graph is going down
5) x-intercept is (-3,-1)
