What we need to do first, is to write the equation of the line through points A and B.
the slope of the line through A(3, 7) and B(-4, 9) is

the equation of the line is :

C(a, 1) is on this line so it must satisfy the equation:

Answer:
14.4 or 15 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of yards covered by x bags is ...
(3 1/2)x = 50 1/4
x = (50 1/4)/(3 1/2) = 50.25/3.5 ≈ 14.4*
We assume that bags of chips are available only in integer quantities.
The PTA will need 15 bags of wood chips to cover the wet section.
_____
* The exact answer is 14 5/14. We hope that an integer number is the desired solution, as anything more precise than that seems inappropriate in this context.
