Question

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 rupees 5 per kilometre taking the distance covered of exclaimed total fair as rupees why write a linear equation for this information and draw its graph

Answer 1

as the fare for first km is 8 and for next km 5

let us see how we can make an equation
as 5 is same for all subsequent km so
5x+? =y

x=total distance covered
y=total fare

? =3

5x +3= y
$5x = y + 3 \\ x = \frac{y + 3}{5} \\ x \: \ \: 2 \: \: \: \: 3 \: \ \: 1\\ y \: \: \: 7 \: \: 12 \: \: 2$
