Question 2(v)

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

2x = -5y

Answer

Given,

⇒ 2x = -5y

On re-arranging the equation, we have :

⇒ 2x + 5y = 0

⇒ (2)x + (5)y + (0) = 0

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

a = 2, b = 5 and c = 0

Hence, linear equation : 2x + 5y + 0 = 0, a = 2, b = 5 and c = 0.
