1.

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​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know for first kilometer the price it Rs 8.                 ....(i)

As the TOTAL distance is x hence the distance TRAVELED after the first kilometer is x-1.

Fare per km after the first kilometer is 5.

So fare of x-1 km = 5*(x-1)                                                    ....(II)

We know total fare is Y.

hence

Adding eq (i) and (ii) we get

Y=5(X-1)+8.

or

Y=5X+3.
