The answer is false.

In a linear inequality in two variables $ax+by$ , both $a$ and $b$ must be non-zero (it means that the coefficients $a$ and b are not zero), however, the constant which is denoted by $c$ can be equal to zero.

The reason why $a$ and $b$ cannot be zero is because when either $a=0$ or $b=0$ , one of the variables $x$ or $y$ will be eliminated (since 0 times anything is zero), causing the inequality to be a linear inequality in one variable only.
