The taxi fare in a city is as follows: For the first kilo-meter 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 its graph.


Total fare of the taxi = y

Total distance covered = x


Fair for the subsequent distance after 1st kilometer = Rs 5


Fair for 1st kilometer = Rs 8


As per the question,


y = 8 + 5 (x – 1)


y = 8 + 5x – 5


y = 5x + 3
