Expert Answer:
Given,
Taxi fare for first kilometer = Rs. 10
Taxi fare for subsequent distance = Rs. 6
Total distance covered = x
Total fare = y
Since the fare for first kilometer = Rs. 10
According to problem,
Fare for (x - 1) kilometer = 6(x-1)
So, the total fare = 6(x-1) + 10
y = 6(x-1) + 10
y = 6x - 6 + 10
y = 6x + 4
Hence, y = 6x + 4 is the required linear equation
40x+11 this the answer thank you
