your answer for this is 18,540.9
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
43 stitches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that each pant's leg has an opening with a circumference of 8.5 inches. It took 15 stitches to make 3 inches in width. We are asked to find the number of stitches required to make up the circumference.
Let us find stitches needed to make 1 inch by dividing 15 by 3.


Since 5 stitches make 1 inch, so to find stitches needed to make 8.5 inches, we will multiply 8.5 by 5 as:


Upon rounding to nearest stitch, we will get:

Therefore, 43 stitches will make up the circumference.
Find slope
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(-1,5) and (5,8)
slope=(8-5)/(5-(-1))=3/(5+1)=3/6=1/2
y=1/2x+b
sub a point
(-1,5)
x=-1, y=5
5=1/2(-1)+b
5=-1/2+b
add 1/2
5 and 1/2=b
y=1/2x+5 and 1/2
y=1/2x+11/2
