Question


If y=12(3x+7)  is written in the form ax+by+c=0, which of the following are possible values of a, b and c?


Options:
A .   a=+3, b=2, c=+7 
B .   a=+3, b=+2, c=+7  
C .   a=3, b=+2, c=7  
D .   a=3, b=2, c=7  
Answer: Option A
:
A and C

The given equation is y=12(3x+7).
Simplifying the equation we get
2y3x7=0 
Rewriting the equation in standard form ax + by + c = 0 we get
3x+2y7=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,
3x2y+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.
