Question

Express the following linear equations in the form ax+by+c= 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case: (1) y = x/5​

Answer 1

Did the question get cut off?

a = -(1/5)

b = 1

c = 0

Explanation:

y = x/5 may be rewritten as y = (1/5)x

y = (1/5)x

y - (1/5)x = 0

- (1/5)x + y + 0 = 0

ax + by + c = 0

a = -(1/5)

b = 1

c = 0
