The equation of the line that has a slope m is

$y=mx+b.$

Since $m=\dfrac{3}{2},$ the equation is

$y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+b.$

This line passes through the point (4,-2), then the coordinates of this point satisfy the equation:

$-2=\dfra{3}{2}\cdot 4+b,\\ \\-2=6+b,\\ \\b=-8.$

Answer: $y=\dfrac{3}{2}x-8.$

5. Lauren is saving for gymnastics camp, Camp costs $225 to attend. She has 40 percent of the money saved. How much money has sh

barxatty [35]

To solve this problem you have to convert the percentage to a decimal which would
be .40.

40% =40/100=.40

After doing so all you need to do is divide the amount needed by the percentage which gives you the amount she has saved.

225/.40= $90

Lauren has $90 saved

Justin is on a road trip. Over the past two days, he’s driven a total distance of 504 miles at an average speed of 56 miles/hour

irakobra [83]

Recall d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

$\bf d=rt\implies 504=56t\implies \cfrac{504}{56}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{9}=t$

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then. Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.

how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph? d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7

that many miles he drove yesterday.
