Question

Express y=3x+2 in general form

Answer 1

General form of a linear equation is ax+by+c=0 where a,b, and c are three real numbers.

So, we can shift all the terms in one side of the equation. Hence, first step is to remove y from the left side. So, subtract y from each sides.

y-y=3x+2-y

0= 3x - y +2 (By simplifying)

So, the general form of the given equation is 3x-y+2=0.
