First of all, I didn't know where to put this in general math or differential equations.
Let's start with the basic, x/0 = α. Where α is every number and decimal number from -∞ to +∞, by rearranging, we get x = 0α, x= 0, therefore only 0/0 = α. Now, we can integrate this with graphs.
Take the equations:
y=0/0,
and y=x/0, and the variant y=(x+a)/0
y=0/0:
If y=2 then there will be a horizontal line going through the points (x, 2), where x is any number on the x-axis. However, 0/0 = α, and therefore y=α, and as this means there will be infinite jorizontal lines, the entire graph will be full.
y=x/0:
Now we are dealing with a change in x. By rearrangin, we get x=0, therefore a graph of y=x/0 ≡ x=0. Another way of proving this, is that when x is greater than, or less than 0. It won't work, for example y=1/0, 0y=1, 0=1, but 0≠1, but if it is replaced with 0, y=0/0, we get the infinite vertical line from before, but is trapped at x=0 because of the change in x making other lines impossible.
y=(x+a)/0:
This time, by rearranging, we get x=-a. By using what we said before, it works the same way. For example, y=(x-4)/0. If x = 4, then we get y=0/0, therefore we get an infinite vertical line at x=4, but mot anyother line because if x/0=0 (where x≠0), it won't work.
The gradient of y=x/0:
y=x/0, is the same as y= x*1/0, and by differentiation we get dy/dx = 1/0, but 1/0 is impossible since, by rearranging, we get from 1/0=x to 1=0, but 1≠0, yet there is a gradient, otherwise it wouldn't be traveling upwards, the graphs and differentiation contradict each other.
The gradient of y=(x+a)/0 will be the same, as nothing would change to the line, apart from its translation across the x-axis. Proof:
y=(x+a)/0
x - dy/dx = 1
a - dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = (1+0)0 = 1/0.
