Equations which are never true
2.1 Solve : 3 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Equation of a Straight Line
2.2 Solve 2x-5y-5 = 0
Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).
"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.
In this formula :
y tells us how far up the line goes
x tells us how far along
m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis
The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line 2x-5y-5 = 0 and calculate its properties
