Joanne wants to go to a shopping mall for leisure. However, she does not have transportation like car that can send her to go to the shopping mall from her house. Thus, she wants to get a taxi service that will charge RM14.00 for a journey of 7 km. Before Joanne booking the taxi service from a taxi driver, she receives a phone call from her friend who wishes to meet her in a library to discuss school assignments. The distance between Joanne’s house and the library is 15 km. She wants to book the taxi service from the same taxi driver to move from her house to the library. How much is the taxi fare charged by the taxi driver when sending Joanne from her house until arriving at the library?
Which of the following is the process of making assumptions and identifying the variables?
Determine taxi fare charged by the taxi driver while he sends Joanne from the house until arriving at the library.
Assume that the taxi fare charged for a journey of 1 km is the same. Let x represents the distance of journey and y represents the taxi fare charged by the taxi driver.
The model of linear function y = 2x obtained may not be used for every kilometer travelled.
Substitute y = 14 and x = 7 into y = kx.
