Express each of the following equations in the form ax+ by + c = 0 and indcate the values of a, b, c in each case.
(i) x = 6
(ii) 3x - y = x - 1
(iii) 2x + 9 = 0
(iv) 4y = 7
(v) x + y = 4
(vi) x2−y3=16+y
(i) x = 6
In the form of ax + by + c = 0
we have x + 0y + ( - 6) = 0 where a = 1, b = 0 and c = - 6.
(ii) 3x – y = x – 1
In the form of ax + by + c = 0 we have 2x + (-1y) + 1 = 0 where a = 2, b = -1 and c = 1
(iii) 2x + 9 = 0
In the form of ax + by + c = 0 we have 2x + (-1y) + 1 = 0 where a = 2, b = -1 and c = 1
(iv) 4y = 7
In the form of ax + by + c= 0 we have 0x + 4y + (-7) = 0 where a = 0, b = 4 and c = -7
(v) x + y = 4
In the form of ax + by + c = 0 we have 1x + 1y + (-4) = 0 where a = 1, b = 1, c = - 4
(vi) x2−y3=16+yMultiply throughout with 63x−2y=1+6y⇒3x−8y+(−1)=0ax+by+c=0a=3,b=−8,c=−1
