The solution

Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
a*x+b*y+c = 0

Divide both parts of the equation by (c + a*x + b*y)/x
x = 0 / ((c + a*x + b*y)/x)

We get the answer: x = (-c - b*y)/a
The solution of the parametric equation
Given the equation with a parameter:
$$a x + b y + c = 0$$
The coefficient at x is equal to
$$a$$
then possible cases for a :
$$a < 0$$
$$a = 0$$
Consider all cases in more detail:
With
$$a < 0$$
the equation
$$b y + c - x = 0$$
its solution
$$x = b y + c$$
With
$$a = 0$$
the equation
$$b y + c = 0$$
its solution
