Question

James is participating in a 5-mile walk to raise money for a charity. he has received $200 in fixed pledges and raises $20 extra for every mile he walks. use a point-slope equation to find the amount he will raise ifhe completes the walk.

Answer 1

First, you will need to write your point-slope equation to help you solve the problem.
a) y - 200 = 20(5 - 0)
b) Simplify: y - 200 = 100
c) Simplify further: y = 300

Therefore, James should earn $300 when he finishes the race.
