If it doesn't matter whether the points are integers or not you can just pick a number for either y or x and solve for the other variable. For example, if you pick 3 to be your x, plug it in and then solve for y. Start out with:
Plug in 3 for x:
. Then,
. Subtract 21 from both sides and then divide by -3 on both sides. You end up with y=-7 so one of your points is (3, -7)
Setup
remember is means =, and of means *
Writing across the words
15 = x * 39
15/39 = x
x =0.3846 = 38.46%
This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems
for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25
now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25
3/1.25 = 2.4
so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string
