  <span>13.5 = lw 

13.5/l = w 

3l + 2w = C 

C = 3l + 2*(13.5/l) 

C = 3l + (27/l) 

dC(l)/dl = 0 

3 - (27/l^2) = 0 

3*(l^2) - 27 = 0 

(l^2) - 9 = 0 

(l - 3)*(l + 3) = 0 

l = 3 

13.5 = 3w 

l = 3000; w = 4500

Therefore, to minimize the cost of the fence, length should be 3000 ft while width should be 4500 ft.</span>

A line is written in standard form Ax + By = 0, where A and B are not
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

A point that must lie on this line is the origin (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in standard form is equal to

Ax+By=C

where

A is a positive integer

B and C are integer

In this problem

C=0

so

Ax+By=0

That means, that the line represent a proportional relationship between the variables x and y

Remember that in a proportional relationship the line passes through the origin

therefore

A point that must lie on this line is the origin (0,0)
