Step 1: List the given details.

The line is 13 1/2 ft long

The sections of line are each 1/8 ft long

Step 2: Set up an equation to find the number of sections

Number \; of \; sections \; = \; \frac{Length \; of \; Line}{Length \; of \; each \; section}

Number \; of \; sections \; = 13\frac{1}{2}\div \frac{1}{8}

Step 3: Divide fractions by flipping the second fractions and multiplying it with the first fraction. When multiplying fractions we need to multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator as given below.

Number \; of \; sections \; = 13\frac{1}{2}\div \frac{1}{8}\\Convert \; mixed \; fraction \; to \; improper \; fraction.\\\\\frac{2 \times 13+1}{2}\div \frac{1}{8}=\frac{27}{2}\div \frac{1}{8}\\\\Flip \; the \; second \; fraction \; and \; multiply \; with \; first \; fraction\\\\\frac{27}{2} \times \frac{8}{1}\\\\Multiply \; numerator \; with \; numerator \; denominator \; with \; denominator\\\\\frac{27 \times 8}{2 \times 1} \\\\\frac{216}{2}=108

Conclusion:

The number of sections that the line be divided into will be 108.

Use the table to write a linear function that relates y to x .
Helen [10]

Answer:

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear equation is in the form

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

the slope can be calculated using two points

Let us have; (-2,8) and (0,2)

The equation of the slope is ;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-8)/(0+2) = -6/2 = -3

So for the y-intercept, we select any of the points to substitute

Let us have (0,2)

Substitute this into;

y = -3x + b

2 = -3(0) + b

b = 2

So the equation is;

y = -3x + 2
