Question

Write the equation in general form Ax + By + C =0.

1/2 y - 1/3 x - 1 = 0

Answer 1

2x -3y +6 =0

Explanation:

1/2 y - 1/3 x - 1 = 0

Multiply by 6 to clear the denominators

6*(1/2 y - 1/3 x - 1) = 0*6

3y -2x-6=0

Multiply by -1 because we want x to be positive

-1(3y -2x-6)=0*-1

-3y +2x +6 = 0

Rearrange

2x -3y +6 =0

This is in the general form
