Answer:

<em>12.4 pieces of ribbon</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking in the question, we can see the term "cut into equal pieces." This can insure to us that we need to divide two numbers. Since we originally have 15.5 inches long string, and we want to cut it into strings that are 1.25 inches long. We divide :

15.5 / 1.25

==> 12.4

Answer:

The answer is:

$y = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

❃Incase you forgot what the linear equation formula is ☟

$y = mx + b$

❃Incase you also forgot, The is what the slope formula is ☟

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

➊ First: We are going to be solving for the slope.

$m = \frac{ - 5 - 0}{ - 10 - 5} = \frac{ - 5}{ - 15} = \frac{1}{3}$

➋Second: We find the y-intercept.

$y = mx + b \\ 0 = \frac{1}{3} (5) + b \\ 0 = \frac{5}{3} + b \\ \frac{ - \frac{5}{3} = - \frac{5}{3 } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{ - \frac{5}{3} = b}$

➌Third: Plug in.

$y = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{5}{3}$
