Question

Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case:

(i) x – y/5 – 10 = 0

(ii) -2x+3y = 6

(iii) y – 2 = 0

Answer 1

1. x +(-1/5)y +(-10) =0 , a=1, b=(-1/5), c=-10
2. -2x+3y+(-6) =0 , a=-2, b=3, c=-6
3. (0)x+y+(-2) =0 , a=0, b=1, c=-2
