Question

The taxi fare in a city is as follows : for the first km the fare is 8 rs and for subsequent distance it is rs 5 km taking the distance covered as x km amd fare as rs y Write a linear eqation

Answer 1

it the 8x+5y=0 is the answer

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)
