the taxi fare in a city is as follows for the first kilometre, the fare is Rs 8 and for the subsequent distance it is Rs 5/km. taking the distance covered as x km and the total fare is Rs y, write a linear equation for this information and draw it's graph.
Answers
Answer:
let total fair be y
total distance covered be x
fair for 1 km is rupees 8
fair for remaining km (x-1)
total fair=fair for 1km+fair for x-1 km
y=8+5(x-1)
y=5x+3
now using this equation you can make it's graph
hope it help

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)
