Question

write equation in general form:
3x=4y-12
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, the general equation of any straight line is

ax + by + c = 0,

where a, b, c are constants.

The given equation is

3x = 4y - 12

or, 3x - 4y + 12 = 0

This is the required general form.

To know more:

#1

Let us know more about the given equation.

Well, the equation of any straight line in two dimensions is represented by the two variables x and y.

The given equation is

3x = 4y + 12

If we put it in y = mx + c form, we get

4y = 3x - 12

or, y = (3/4) x - 3

This is the slope-intercept form.

#2

However we can write the equation of the given straight line in the intercept form:

x/(- 4) + y/(- 3) = 1

where the straight line cuts the x-axis at the point (- 4, 0) and the y-axis at the point (0, - 3).
