Question

A mountain climber starts climbing at an elevation of 1200 feet.

He climbs 800 feet per hour. How high is the climber after 3
hours?

Answer 1

3600 ft

Explanation:

`y=mx+b\\\\m=800\\b=1200\\x=3\\\\y=800(3)+1200\\\\y=3600\\`

The answer is 3600 ft.

Answer 2

How high is the climber?

Explanation:

So, he starts at 1200. And then he walks 800 times 3, which is 2100.

So, 2100 + 1200 = 3300
