How to change the constant C in the general equation of the straight line Ax+By+C=0 when the straight line is shifted along the vector?
There is a straight line given by the general equation of the straight line Ax+By+C=0, there is a vector V. It is
necessary to shift the straight line along this vector V (change the origin of the coordinate system of the straight line?), i.e. A and B does not change, how to calculate C?

If V = (vx, vy), then points (x+vx, y+vy) will satisfy the equation of the new line instead of (x, y):
Ax+By+C=0
A(x+vx)+B(y+vy)+C'=0
C' = C-Avx-Bvy
