Each piece is 7 and 1/3 feet long (7 feet 4 inches)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
get the equation in slope intercept form
2x-3y=9
subtract 2x from each side
-3y = -2x +9
divide by -3
y = 2/3 x -3
slope = 2/3
y intercept = -3
x intercept set y=0 and solve
0 = 2/3 x -3
add 3 to each side
3 = 2/3 x
multiply each side by 3/2
9/2 = x
the x intercept is 9/2 or 4 1/2
