Question

The taxi fare in a city is as follows: For the first kilometer, the fare is Rs. 18 and for the subsequent

distance it is Rs. 15 per kilometer. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fares as Rs. y, write a

linear equation for this information, and draw its graph.

Answer 1

y = 15x +3

Explanation:

If the rate were a straight Rs15 per km, then the equation would be ...

y = 15x . . . . fare for x km

However, the first km has an additional Rs3 added to the fare. So, the equation is ...

y = 15x +3 . . . . . fare in Rs for x km
