Answers
The taxi fare in a city is as follows: For the first kilometre, the fares is Rs 8 and for the subsequent distance it is Rs 5 per km. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fare as Rs y, write a linear equation for this information, and draw its graph.
Class 9 - Math - Linear Equations in Two Variables Page 74"
Answer:
Given,Total distance covered= x km=1+(x-1)km
Fare For first kilometre= ₹8
Fare for subsequent distance= ₹5 per km
Fare for next(x-1)km= 5(x-1)
A.T.Q
Total fare= y
8+5(x-1)=y
8+5x-5=y
5x-y+3=0
Which is the required linear equation.
It can also be written as y= 5x+3
When X = 0 ,then Y = 3,When x=1, then y= 5+3=8
When x= 2, then y= 10+3=13

Now plot the points A(0,3), B(1,8), C( 2,13) on the graph paper and join them to form a line BC, which represents the required graph of linear equation.
