17 x 2 = 34
54- 34 = 20
20/2 = 10 which is the width of the garden
17+5= 22
22 x 10= 220feet = the new area

The general equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the constant term.
If x is put equal to zero the equation becomes:
y = b
therefore the constant term b is the intercept on the y axis, or the y-intercept.
