Question 255003: Explain why for each and every linear equation in the form ax + by + c = 0, there are an infinity of ordered pairs in the form (x,y) that will satisfy the equation (make the equation be true). If you put each one of these ordered pairs on the same graph and connect all the dots what will you have? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are an infinity of ordered pairs because there are an infinity of x's which are numbers on the number line.
If you connect the dots, you get a straight line.
