Mister smith wants to put a small fence around his garden. a store sells three feet sections of fence at cost of $5.49 per section. in the number of feet, what is the longest length of fence can he purchase if he wants to spend less than 145 dollars on the fence? assume mister smith cannot purchase a fraction of a section of fencing and must purchase only whole sections. show work and explain your reasoning.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
