Express the following linear equations in the form $ax + by + c = 0$ and indicate the values of $a, b$ and $c$ in each case:$3x = -7y$

Given: 

$3x = -7y$

To do: 

We have to express the given linear equation in the form $ax + by + c = 0$ and indicate the values of $a, b$ and $c$.

Solution:

$3x = -7y$

$\Rightarrow 3x+7y+0=0$

Comparing it with $ax+by+c=0$, we get,

$a= 3, b = 7$ and $c = 0$.

The values of $a, b$ and $c$ are $3, 7$ and $0$ respectively.
