Question

express x=3y in the form ax+by+x=0 and indicate the value of a,b and c

Answer 1

Given x = 3y,

The given equation can be written as

x - 3y + 0 = 0  ... (1)

or 1 x + (-3 y,) + 0 = 0, which is of the form ax + by + c = 0

where a = 1, b = -3, c = 0

Now put y = 0 in equation(1)

x - 3(0) + 0 = 0

⇒ x = 0

now put y = 1

x - 3(1) + 0 = 0

⇒ x = 3

Answer 2

Hi ,

x = 3y

x - 3y = 0

x + ( -3 ) y + 0 = 0

Compare this with ax + by + c = 0

a = 1 , b = -3 , c = 0

I hope this helps you.
