What do the a, b, and c stand for in the standard form equation?

Ax +By = C





what do they stand for??????????

What do the a, b, and c stand for in the standard form equation?
Unknown coefficients. A,B, and C could be whatever you specify. In other words, the equation above is a generalized form.
Reply:the missing number you have to fine out to solve the problem
Reply:A is the coefficient of x and B is the coefficient of y. C is a constant as are A and B.


If you put this equation in slope intercept form you get


y = -Ax/B + C/B


So - A/B is the slope and C/b is the y- intercept.
Reply:Numerical constants.
