How do I write an equation into Ax+By=C form?

[q543332]

The question is
"Write the equations in the form Ax+By=C
a) Line with slope 1/2 and though (1,-2)."

Any help

Please share your work/thoughts and context of the problem (what is the subject topic?) - so that we know where to begin to help you.

Hint: The general equation of a line with a slope m and through a point(x₁,y₁) is:

y - y₁ = m * (x - x₁)

The question is "Write the equations in the form Ax+By=C
a) Line with slope 1/2 and though (1,-2)."

From the \(\displaystyle Ax+By=C\) form we know that the slope is \(\displaystyle \frac{-A}{B}\) if \(\displaystyle B\ne 0\).
If \(\displaystyle (p,q)\) is on the line then \(\displaystyle pA+qB=C\).
Can you use that?
