Question

What are the values of a, b and c for the equation when written in the standard form: $ax+by+c=0:$
$y=0.5x+\sqrt{7}.$

• A. $0.5,1,\sqrt{7}$
• B. $0.5,1,-\sqrt{7}$
• C. $0.5,-1,\sqrt{7}$
• D. $-0.5,1,\sqrt{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $0.5,-1,\sqrt{7}$

​$y=0.5x+\sqrt{7}$
​$\Rightarrow 0.5x-y+\sqrt{7}=0$
The general form of an equation is $ax+bx+c=0.$
Here a = $0.5,b=-1,c=\sqrt{7}.$
