Step-by-Step Solution

Follow the dashed line up from 5 km to the graph and across to the fare axis: it meets ₹80. (Check: )
Answer: B) ₹80

Key idea: Graphing a linear equation

Three steps:

1. Find at least **two solutions** (preferably the and intercepts — easiest to plot).
2. Plot those points on the coordinate plane.
3. Draw a straight line through them.

Every linear equation in two variables graphs as a STRAIGHT LINE. (That's why they're called 'linear'.)

For accuracy: find a third solution and verify it lies on the line — catches arithmetic mistakes.
