2 1/2 yds = 2.5 x 36 = 90 inches...what she started with
2 ft 8 in = 2(12) + 8 = 32 inches...what she had left
90 - x = 32
90 - 32 = x
x = 58 inches....so she used 58 inches
C. The distance around the circle is the correct answer.
Answer:
y - 1.4x = - 6.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation: find the slope, use point-slope form to calculate the equation, then convert the equation to standard form.
Slope: 
Use point slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Plug in x = 27, y = 31, and m = 1.4
y - 31 = 1.4(x - 27)
y - 31 = 1.4x - 37.8
y = 1.4x - 6.8
Convert this into standard form: ax + by = c
y - 1.4x = - 6.8
