Answer:
The linear equation is y = 8x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information, we can say that
Rs 15 is the fixed charge till first kilometer.
And Rs 8 is for every subsequent kilometer. Hence, for (x-1) km the charge will be 8(x-1)
Hence, if x is the distance traveled and y is total charge. Then, we have
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
y = 8(x-1) + 15
y = 8x -8 +15
y = 8x +7
The linear equation is y = 8x + 7
