Solution

The correct option is C A straight line
The equation $a x + b y + c = 0$ represent straight line under one condition i. e,
$| a | + | b | \neq 0$ or, $a \neq b \neq 0$
Also, here
$y = \frac{- a}{b} x$ $\frac{- c}{b}$ represent the slope interspect form where $m = (- a / b), y - m = - c / b$
