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 = 9.35(ii) x – \(\frac{y}{5}\)– 10 = 0 (iii) -2x + 3y = 6 (iv) x = 3y (v) 2x = -5y (vi) 3x + 2 = 0 (vii) y – 2 = 0 (viii) 5 = 2x

Answer»

i) 2x + 3y = 9.35

OR 2x + 3y – 9.35 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = 2, b = 3, c = 9.35. 

(ii) x – \(\frac{y}{5}\)– 10 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = 1, b = \(\frac{-1}{5}\), c=10. 

(iii) -2x + 3y = 6 

OR -2x + 3y – 6 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = -2, b = 3, c = -6. 

(iv) x = 3y x – 3y = 0 

x – 3y + 0 = 0 

If we compare this to 

ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = 1, b = -3, c = 0. 

(v) 2x = -5y 

2x + 5y = 0 

2x + 5y + 0 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = 2, b = 5, c = 0. 

(vi) 3x + 2 = 0 

3x + 0y + 2 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = 3, b = 0, c = 2. 

(vii) y – 2 = 0 

0x + 1y – 2 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = 0, b = 1, c = -2. 

(viii) 5 = 2x 

-2x + 5 = 0 

-2x + 0y + 5 = 0 

If we compare this to ax + by + c = 0, 

Here, a = -2, b = 0, c = 5.
