## Text Solution

Steps:

(i) Consider

\begin{align}&2x + 3y = 9.3\overline 5 \quad \dots {\rm{ Equation }}\left( {\rm{1}} \right)\\&\Rightarrow 2x + 3y - 9.3\overline 5 = 0\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a=2{,}$$
• $$b=3{,}$$
• $$c=-9.3\overline {5}$$

(ii) Consider \begin{align}x-\frac{y}{5}-10=0 \quad \dots \text{Equation (1)}\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a=1{,}$$
• \begin{align}b=-\frac{1}{5} \end{align}
• \begin{align}c=-10\end{align}

(iii) Consider

\begin{align}&-2 x+3 y=6 \quad \dots {\rm{ Equation }}\left( {\rm{1}} \right) \\ &{ \Rightarrow -2 x+3 y-6=0}\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a=-2{,}$$
• $$a=-2{,}$$
• $$c=-6$$

(iv) Consider $$x = 3y \quad \dots \text{Equation (1)}$$

$$=> 1x - 3y + 0 = 0$$

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a=1{,}$$
• $$b=-3$$
• $$c=0$$

(v) Consider $$2x = -5y \qquad \dots \text{Equation (1)}$$

\begin{align}{ \Rightarrow 2x + 5y + 0 = 0}\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a=2{,}$$
• $$b=5{,}$$
• $$c=0$$

(vi) Consider $$3x + 2 = 0 \quad \dots \text{Equation (1)}$$

We can re-write Equation ($$1$$) as shown below,

\begin{align}{ 3x + 0y + 2 = 0}\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a=3{,}$$
• $$b=0{,}$$
• $$c=2$$

(vii) Consider $$\rm y - 2 = 0\quad \dots\text{Equation (1)}$$

We can re-write Equation ($$1$$) as shown below,

\begin{align}{ 0 x+1 y-2=0}\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a = 0,$$
• $$b = 1,$$
• $$c = -2$$

(vii) $$5 = 2x \quad \dots \text{Equation (1)}$$

\begin{align}{ 2x + 0y - 5 =\rm 0}\end{align}

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the linear equation in two variables, $$ax + by + c = 0$$ we have,

• $$a = 2,$$
• $$b = 0,$$
• $$c = -5$$
