Final answer:

The equation y=mx represents a linear equation in slope-intercept form without a y-intercept term and has infinitely many solutions, as each point on the line satisfies the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question is in the concept of linear equations. It's important to understand that the equation y=mx represents a line in slope-intercept form where 'm' is the slope and there is no y-intercept term mentioned (which means b=0). A line on the Cartesian plane represents infinitely many points where each point is a solution to the equation. Therefore, the equation y=mx has infinitely many solutions, as every point on the line satisfies the equation.

Answer:A solution to an equation is the value or values of the variable or variables that make the equation a true statement. Graphically, solutions are the intersections of the graphs of the left side and the right side, or if the equation is written so that one side is zero, we are looking for the x-intercepts (for real solutions.)

Periodic functions can have infinite solutions. For instance, cos(x)=1 has as solutions x=2n*pi, n in ZZ (or n an integer.) Periodic functions can...
