PLEASE HELP!!!! :)
Michelle got her uncle to sponsor her for the walk to raise money for the animal shelter. He said he would use the rule A=8+2d, where A is the amount he will pay if Michelle walks d miles.
Explain the meaning of the 8 and the 2 in this function rule in terms of distance walked and the amount Michelle's uncle will pay.
He will pay her $8 , no matter how far she walks, plus an additional $2 for every mile she walks
In the function rule A=8+2d, the 8 represents a fixed amount of money that Michelle's uncle will pay regardless of the distance she walks. This means that even if Michelle doesn't walk at all, her uncle will still contribute $8 towards the animal shelter.
The 2 in the function rule represents the rate of payment for each mile walked. It indicates that for every mile Michelle walks, her uncle will pay an additional $2. So, if Michelle walks 1 mile, her uncle will pay $8 + $2 = $10. If she walks 2 miles, he will pay $8 + 2*$2 = $12, and so on.
To find the amount Michelle's uncle will pay for a specific distance, you can simply substitute the value of d into the function and calculate it.
