Unknown coefficients. A,B, and C could be whatever you specify. In other words, the equation above is a generalized form.

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.
