Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution:

(i) The equation x-y/5-10 = 0 can be written as:

1x + (-1/5) y + (-10) = 0

Now compare the above equation with ax + by + c = 0

Thus, we get;

• a = 1
• b = -⅕
• c = -10

(ii) –2x + 3y = 6

Re-arranging the given equation, we get,

–2x + 3y – 6 = 0

The equation –2x + 3y – 6 = 0 can be written as,

(–2)x + 3y +(– 6) = 0

Now comparing (–2)x + 3y +(– 6) = 0 with ax + by + c = 0

We get,

• a = –2
• b = 3
• c = -6

(iii) y – 2 = 0

Solution:

y – 2 = 0

The equation y – 2 = 0 can be written as,

0x + 1y + (–2) = 0

Now comparing 0x + 1y + (–2) = 0with ax + by + c = 0

We get,

• a = 0
• b = 1
• c = –2
