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 per km. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fare as Rs y, write a linear equation for this information, and draw.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Distance covered = x Km =1 + (x-1) Km fare for first kilometre = Rs 8 fare for next (x-1) km=Rs(x-1)xx5=Rs 5(x-1)
According to question total fare =Rs y
8+5(x-1)=y`rArr` 8+5x-5=y `rArr` 5x-y+3=0

Now plot the points A(0,3) and B(1,8) on a graph paper and joining tghem to form a line AB.

It is common that Governments revise travel fares from time to time based on various factors such as inflation ( a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money) on different types of vehicles like auto, Rickshaws, taxis, Radio cab etc. The auto charges in a city comprise of a fixed charge together with the charge for the distance covered. Study the following situations Situation 1: In city A, for a journey of 10 km, the charge paid is Rs 75 and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is Rs 110. Situation 2: In a city B, for a journey of 8km, the charge paid is Rs91 and for a journey of 14km, the charge paid is Rs 145. If the fixed charges of auto rickshaw be Rs x and the running charges be Rs y km/hr, the pair of linear equations representing the situation is
