Numbers \(a, b, c\) are integers with \(a\) and \(b\) being coprime. Let us assume that integers \(x_0\) and \(y_0\) are a solution for the equation \(ax + by = c\).

Prove that every solution for this equation has the same form \(x = x_0 + kb\), \(y = y_0 - ka\), with \(k\) being a random integer.
