Question

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

(i) $-2x+3y=12$ (ii) $x-\frac{y}{2}-5=0$ (iii) $2x+3y=9.35$

Answer 1

(i) $-2x+3y=12$

$\Rightarrow -2x+3y-12=0\text{Here}a=-2,b=3,c=-12$

(ii) $x-\frac{y}{2}-5=0$

$\text{Here}a=1,b=-\frac{1}{2},c=-5$

(iii) $2x+3y=9.35$

$\Rightarrow 2x+3y-9.35=0\text{Here}a=2,b=3,c=-9.35$
