(N/A) The given equation is $2x = -5y$.
To express this in the form $ax + by + c = 0$,we move all terms to the left side:
$2x + 5y = 0$.
This can be written as $(2)x + (5)y + (0) = 0$.
Comparing this with the standard form $ax + by + c = 0$,we identify the coefficients as:
$a = 2$,$b = 5$,and $c = 0$.
