Question

Rewrite the equation 5x – 8y + 3 = 5x – 7y + 2 into general form (ax + by + c = 0).

Answer 1

y-1=0

Explanation:

To rewrite the equation 5x - 8y + 3 = 5x - 7y + 2, combine like terms across the equal sign using inverse operations.

5x - 8y + 3 = 5x - 7y + 2

5x - 5x - 8y + 3 = 5x - 5x -7y + 2

-8y + 3 = -7y + 2

-y +3 = 2

-y = -1

y- 1 = 0
