a. −x+y+1=0

b. −2x+3y+6=0

c. 2x−3y−6=0

d. 2x−3y−6=0

Let's rewrite each of the given equations in the general form

ax+by+c=0:

a. y−x−1=0

To write this in the general form, let's move the terms around:

y−x−1=0

y−x+1=0

So, the general form is −x+y+1=0, where a=−1, b=1, and c=1.

b.−2x+3y−6=0

To write this in the general form:

−2x+3y−6=0

−2x+3y+6=0 (Adding 6 to both sides)

So, the general form is

−2x+3y+6=0, where a=−2, b=3, and c=6.

c. 2x−3y−6=0

This equation is already in the general form

2x−3y−6=0, where a=2, b=−3, and c=−6.

d. 2x−3y+6=0

To write this in the general form:

2x−3y+6=0

So, the general form is

2x−3y−6=0,

where a=2, b=−3, and c=−6.
