The answer depends on "it" being the equation of a straight line and your starting point for "it".

The equation of a straight line can be written as y = mx + c where m is the slope or gradient of the line and c is the intercept.

Simple rearrangement of the terms gives:

mx - y c = 0

and that is in the required form with m = a, -1 = b and c = c.
