Write the following equation in the general form ax + by + c = 0. 2x + y = 6

Solution:

A straight line is a geometrical figure formed when two planes intersect. It extends infinitely in both the directions. The general form of the equation of a straight line is ax + by + c = 0

2x + y = 6 [Given]

It can be written as

2x + y - 6 = 0

Comparing it with the general form we get

a = 2

b = 1

c = - 6

Therefore, the general form is 2x + y - 6 = 0

Write the following equation in the general form ax + by + c = 0. 2x + y = 6

Summary:

The following equation in the general form ax + by + c = 0, 2x + y = 6 is 2x + y - 6 = 0
