James is participating in a 3-mile walk to raise money for a charity. He has received $300 in fixed pledges and raises $13 extra for every mile he walks. Use a point-slope equation to find the amount he will raise if he completes the walk.

Respuesta :

Answer: $339

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The total length of the journey is 10 miles

fixed pledges are $300

variable pledges are $13 per mile

Point slope equation form is

[tex]\Rightarrow y=mx+c[/tex]

Here the total charge corresponds to y and miles walked corresponds to x

So, we can write

[tex]T=13\times m+300[/tex]

where,

[tex]T=\text{Total charge}\\m=\text{miles walked}[/tex]

for 3 miles distance

[tex]\Rightarrow T=3\times 13+300=\$339[/tex]
