Various Forms of a Line
General form of a line: The general form of a line is ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers but both ‘a’ and 'b' does not simultaneously equal to zero and x and y are variables
NOTE: If a =0 i.e., bx+c=0, the line is parallel to y-axis
NOTE: If b=0, i.e., ax+c=0, the line is parallel to x-axis
NOTE: If a\(\ne
\)0, b\(\ne\)0 ; then the line is neither parallel to x-axis nor parallel to y-axis
NOTE: If c=0, The line passes through the origin.
