Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.
at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.
Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is
50t
Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is
45(6 - t)
Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that
50t + 45(6 - t) = 290
50t + 270 - 45t = 290
50t - 45t = 290 - 270
5t = 20
t = 20/5 = 4
At 45 miles per hour, she drove at
6 - 4 = 2 hours
This is a proportion problem.

We can cross multiply and divide.
5z = 48
z = 9.6

Answer:
12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
m= slope
m=Y2-Y1/X2-X1
Y2=5, Y1=-7, X2=3, X1=-2
Substitute into equation
m=5-(-7)/3-(-2)
m=5+7/3+2
m=12/5
slope is 12/5
