Question

. Express x = - 6 as an equation in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values 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

GIVEN :- A linear equation i.e. x = - 6

TO WRITE :- In standard form.

ANSWER :-

Standard form of linear equation is that when it mention in the form of

ax + by + c = 0

Where x and y are variable having a and b as coefficient.

'c' as constant.

x = -6

=> x + 6 = 0

Here 6 is the constant , x is variable while y is missing so it can be written as

1x + 0y + 6 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = 0

c = 6
