Question

for the first km the fare is rs 5 and for the succesive distance it is 2 per km taking distance covered as x and total fare y . write a linear equation.

Answer 1

The linear equation will be. 5 + (x-1) × 2 = y

Answer 2

Fare for first kilometer = Rs.5
Fare for next successive distance per km - Rs.2
Total distance = x
Total fare = y

Distance covered at Rs.2/km = (x-1)
Therefore the linear equation would be

y = 5 + 2(x-1)
y = 5 + 2x - 2
y = 3 +2x
