Express the following linear equations in the form $ax + by + c = 0$ and indicate the values of $a, b$ and $c$ in each case:$x-\frac{y}{2} -5 = 0$

Given: 

$x-\frac{y}{2} -5 = 0$

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:

$x-\frac{y}{2} -5 = 0$

$\Rightarrow 2(x - \frac{y}{2} - 5) = 2\times0$

$\Rightarrow 2x-y-10=0$

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

$a= 2, b = -1$ and $c = - 10$.

The values of $a, b$ and $c$ are $2, -1$ and $-10$ respectively.
