The equation ax + by + c = 0 represents a straight line

  • for all real numbers a, b and c

  • only when a ≠ 0

  • only when b ≠ 0

  • only when at least one of a and b is non-zero


D.

only when at least one of a and b is non-zero

The equation ax + by + c = 0 represents a straight line when at least one of a and b is nonzero. Because when a and b are both zero then there will be only constant not variable.

i.e. when a = 0 then y = - cb that is straight line. 

when b = 0 then x = - ca that is also a straight line.But, when a = 0, b = 0 then c = 0 is not straight line. here c is constant.

So at least one of a and b are non-zero
