Question

the taxi fare in a city is as follows for the first kilometre the fare is rupees 8 andthe subsequent distance it is rupees 5 per kilometre taking the distance covered is X km and Total fare is rupees why write a linear equation for this information and draw its graph​

Answer 1

rfare =rupees 8
subsequent distance=rupees 5
subsequent distance of first kilometre =(x-1)
8+5x-5=y
3+5x=y
give value for x
thus answer will get

Answer 2

⇒ Let the total fare be = y Rs

⇒ Distance covered be = x km

⇒ For first subsequent distance (x - 1) km fare = 5(x - 1)

⇒ y = 8 + 5 (x - 1)

⇒ y = 8 + 5x - 5

⇒ y = 5x + 3

⇒ The coordinates of the following linear equation

1) x = 0, y = 3 (0,3)

2) x = 1, y = 8 (1,8)

3) x = 2, y = 13 (2,13)

4) x = 3, y = 18 (3,18)
