Question

Rewrite the equation in Ax+By=C form

Answer 1

Ax + By = C form of the given equation is –6x + y = –28.

Solution:

Given equation is y – 2 = 6(x – 5).

To write the equation in Ax + By = C format:

y – 2 = 6(x – 5)

y – 2 = 6x – 30

Add 2 on both sides of the equation.

y – 2 + 2 = 6x – 30 + 2

y = 6x – 28

Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation.

y – 6x = 6x – 28 – 6x

y – 6x = –28

Arrange the terms in the equation.

–6x + y = –28

This is in the form of Ax + By = C.

Here A = –6, B = 1 and C = –28.
