Yak Travel Agency arranges trips for climbing Mount Everest. For each trip, they charge an initial fee in addition to $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 F(d) denote the fee of a trip F (measured in dollars) as a function of the vertical distance climbed d (measured in meters). Write the function's formula.

The information provided in the problem statement is incomplete and has a math error, but we can still give you a formula:
F0 = initial fee (not provided in the problem statement)
r = dollars charged for each vertical meter climbed (= $15/meter, according to the information provided)
d = vertical distance climbed in meters
Your formula is
F(d) = F0 + rd
