no, eg.
409 x 2 = 818
19 x 0 + 23 = 23
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.
That its roots (solutions) are coincident.
When solving a quadratic equation by factoring, we set each factor equal to zero because of the Zero Product Property. This property states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. By setting each factor to zero, we can find the specific values of the variable that satisfy the equation, leading to the solutions of the quadratic equation.
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is zero then it will have 2 equal roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have 2 different roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is less than zero then it will have no roots.
One way is if the denominator becomes zero.
