Parallel = same slope
Find slope of 3x + 5y = 8
Turn into y = mx + b
5y = -3x + 8
Divide by 5
y = -3/5x + 8/5
Slope is -3/5
Y = -3/5x + b, find y intercept
Plug in the point
4 = -3/5(10) + b
4 = -6 + b, b = 10
Final equation: y = -3/5x + 10
So she had one Board and she cut it in two parts. I part is 1 7/8 feet long and the other part is 3 1/2 feet long
