the taxi fare in a city as follows: for the first kilometer, the fare is Rs25 and for the subsequent distances it is Rs14 per km. taking the distance covered ad x km and total fare as Rsy, write the liners equation for this information and draw its graph
Answers
Answer
x 0 1 2
y 3 8 13
Taxi fare for first kilometer = Rs. 8
Taxi fare for subsequent distance = Rs. 5
Total distance covered =x
Total fare =y
Since the fare for first kilometer = Rs.8
According to problem,
Fare for (x–1) kilometer = 5(x−1)
So, the total fare y=5(x−1)+8
⇒y=5(x−1)+8
⇒y=5x–5+8
⇒y=5x+3
Hence, y=5x+3 is the required linear equation.
Now the equation is
y=5x+3 ...(1)
Now, putting the value x=0 in (1)
y=5×0+3
y=0+3=3 So the solution is (0,3)
Putting the value x=1 in (1)
y=5×1+3
y=5+3=8. So the solution is (1,8)
Putting the value x=2 in (1)
y=5×2+3
y=10+3=13. So the solution is (2,13)
here you can use hint
Answer:
y = 25 + 14 ( x-1)
Explanation -
the total fare will be equal to rs 25+14 excluding the first kilometer i.e(x-1)
