Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the complete question:

Leah has 8 4/7 meters of cloth, which she divides equally among her friends. Each friend 10/7 gets meters of cloth. She distributed the cloth to ---- friends.

Total length of the cloth = 8 4/7m

Number of friends = Unknown

Amount of length gotten by each friend= 10/7

The number of friends that she shred the cloth among will be:

= Total length of cloth / Length gotten by each friend

= 8 4/7 ÷ 10/7

= 60/7 ÷ 10/7

= 6/7 × 7/10.

= 60/10

= 6.

It was shared among 6 friends

8. Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 15 and passes through the

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3$

Explanation:

part A identification for slope:

$\sf 2x + 5y = 15$

$\sf 5y = -2x + 15$

$\sf y = \frac{-2x + 15}{5}$

$\sf y = -\frac{2 }{5} x+3$

comparing with slope intercept form: y = mx + b

we can find that here the slope is $\bold -\frac{2}{5}$

part B, solving the equation:

if the line is parallel, then the slope will be same.

given coordinates: ( - 10, 1 )

using the equation:

y - y₁ = m( x - x₁ )

$\sf y - 1 = \bold -\frac{2}{5} (x --10)$

$\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -4 + 1$

$\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3$

check the image below. this proves that the line is parallel and passes through point (-10, 1). the blue line is question line and red the answer line.
