Question 2(iv)

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

x = 3y

Answer

Given,

⇒ x = 3y

On re-arranging the equation, we have :

⇒ x - 3y = 0

⇒ (1)x + (-3)y + (0) = 0

Comparing above equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get :

a = 1, b = -3 and c = 0

Hence, linear equation : 1x - 3y + 0 = 0, a = 1, b = -3 and c = 0.
