You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other 
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60

so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120

I need help plis <br> thanks

Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he equation of the line is,

y = mx + b

Here, m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope 'm' of the line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope of the line passing through (-2, 5) and (2, -7) will be,

m = \frac{-7-5}{2+2}

m = -3

Equation of the line will be,

y = -3x + b

Since, this line passes through (-2, 5),

5 = -3(-2) + b

5 = 6 + b

b = 5 - 6

b = -1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = -3x - 1
