Question

Express the linear equations $3x+2=0$ in the form $ax+by+c=0$ and indicate the values of $a,b$ and $c$.

Answer 1

Compare the equations

The given equation is,

$3x+2=0$

This can be rewritten as,

$3x+0.y+2=0$

Comparing this with the standard equation,

$ax+by+c=0$

We get, $a=3,b=0,c=2$

Hence the value of $a,b$ and $c$ is $3,0$ and $2$.
