The question is somewhat ambiguous because, thanks to limitations of the browser for posting questions, there is no visible sign between ax and by. I will assume it is + but the method is similar.


The simplest method is as follows:


Set x = 0 (cover up the x term) so that by = c and therefore y = c/b.

Mark the point P = (0, c/b) on the coordinate plane.


Set y = 0 (cover up the y term) so that ax = c and therefore x = c/a.

Mark the point Q = (c/a, 0) on the coordinate plane.


Join PQ and extend in both directions.


Done!
