Which of the following is an equation of a line that doe NOT contain any points in the xy-plane for which both coordinates are integers?
A.\(y=4\)
B. \(y=\frac{1}{2x}\)
C.\(y=x+3\)
D. \(y= x+\frac{1}{2}\)
E. \(y=\frac{1}{2x} + 3\)
The question or OA is flawed..
A.\(y=4\).... x could be any integer...both integer possible
B. \(y=\frac{1}{2x}\).......2xy=1 or xy=\(\frac{1}{2}\)..
If both x and y are integers, xy should be an integer... so both x and y cannot be integers
C.\(y=x+3\)... Possiible
D. \(y= x+\frac{1}{2}\).......\(y- x=\frac{1}{2}\)..
The difference of two integers cannot be a fraction... so both x and y cannot be integers
E. \(y=\frac{1}{2x} + 3....y-3=\frac{1}{2x}\)........If x is an integer, \(\frac{1}{2x}\) will be a fraction, then y-3 cannot be a fraction
so answer = B, D, and E
Note - editing the answer accordingly
