Question

The auto fare in a town is as follows : For the first kilometre, the fare is

` 15 and for the subsequent distance, it is ` 7 per km. Taking the distance covered as x km and total

fare as ` y, write a linear equation for this information and draw its graph.

Answer 1

First Fare=15
Subsequent Fare per km=7
Distance =x
Total Fare=y
Subsequent Fare=7x
Total Fare=15+7x
Therefore, '15+7x=y'
