A binding constraint in linear programming is one where the final solution values for variables exactly satisfy the constraint's equation, leaving no slack. Slack represents the difference between the left-hand side and right-hand side of the constraint equation, and a slack of 0 means the constraint is exactly met without any surplus or deficit.
