the taxi fare in a city is as follows: for the first kilometre, the fare is rupee 8 and for the subsequent distance it is rupee 5 per km. taking the distance covered as x km and total fare as rupee y, write a linear equation for this information, and draw its graph

The linear equation is Y=5x+8 where x>0

(you can input this into the Desmos graphing calculator to see the graph if you like!)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer is fairly straight forward. If we know that distance covered is x in the equation and we know that a linear equation follows the template Y=mX+b where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. The first step is to fill in what we know. That would look as such Y=_X+_. We can then attempt to fill in the blanks for m and b. Because we know that it is 5 rupees extra per subsequent kilometre we can put 5 as the multiplier for x and there is our m or slope. We now have Y=5x+_. Now for b. B in this case is quite simple as is showing us where the start of the graph is. It is stated that there is a flat fee of 8 rupees, so the total can never be less than 8. Because b is simply where the line intercepts the y axis, and we want it to intercept at 8, we can just put a plus 8. And there you have it Y=5x+8. One important note is that the graph when drawn should be a ray extending from point (0,8). This is because we want to eliminate all of the areas on the plane that would make the fare negative, as we could not have a negative cab fare. This is as simple as plotting the line starting from point (0,8) on the y axis. Happy to help!  

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

step-by-step explanation: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
