A and C
The given equation is y=12(3x+7).
Simplifying the equation we get
2y−3x−7=0
Rewriting the equation in standard form ax + by + c = 0 we get
−3x+2y−7=0
∴ On comparing the above equation with standard form ax + by +c = 0, we get the values of a, b and c is -3, 2 and -7 respectively.
But the equation can also be written as,
3x−2y+7=0
(By multiplying both the sides by (-1))
∴ On comparing the above equation with standard form ax + by +c = 0, we get the value of a, b and c is +3, -2 and +7 respectively.
