For each trip, they charge an initial fee in addition to \( \$ 0.15 \) for each vertical meter climbed. For instance, the price for climbing all the way to the summit, which is 3500 meters above the base of the mountain, is \( \$ 645 \). Let \( y \) represent the fee (in dollars) of a trip where they climbed \( x \) vertical meters. Complete the equation for the relationship between the fee and vertical distance. \( y= \) Show Calculator Stuck? Review related articles/videos or use a hint. Do 4 problems \( S p \) May 27
Solution
Step 1 ：1. Find initial fee: 645 - (0.15 * 3500) = n
Step 2 ：2. Solve for n: n = 45
Step 3 ：3. Write the linear equation: y = 45 + 0.15x
