Question

Rewrite the equation y + 6 = -5(x + 3) into general form (ax + by + c = 0)

Answer 1

5x + y = -21

Explanation:

y + 6 = -5x - 15

5x + y + 6 = -15

5x + y = -21

Answer 2

Answer: 5x + y + 21 = 0

Work Shown:

y + 6 = -5(x + 3)

y + 6 = -5x - 15

y + 6 + 5x + 15 = 0

5x + y + 21 = 0

The equation is now in the form ax+by+c = 0 where a = 5, b = 1, c = 21.
