First, you need to find out the perimeter of the fence and how much of the fence he had around his garden last year (leftovers) and subtract them I think.
Since the equation is in y = mx+b form you can easily determine the y intercept based on the b value present.
Y = mx + b
Y = 2x - 3
B = y intercept = (0,-3).
This makes no sense could you rewrite it please
