+194 One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon. Another friend gives you an amount per mile. After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the amount y of money you have raised after x miles.
y=??
+23247 One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will need to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount earned by walking the 5 miles
-- $13.50 - $10.00 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.
So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x + $10.00
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile
and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.
