Question

Express x/5=y-5 in the form of ax+by+c=0 and indicate the values of a, b, and c

Answer 1

a = 1, b = - 5 , c = 25

Explanation:

given

`(x)/(5)` = y - 5 ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction )

x = 5y - 25 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

x - 5y = - 25 ( add 25 to both sides )

x - 5y + 25 = 0 ← in the form ax + by + c = 0

with a = 1 , b = - 5 , c = 25
