Miscalculations

Three lines on different paths

One knows their direction

The other is switching quadrants

The third is independent

Is the graph large enough for three lines?

What happens when there's a fourth?

When the third line connects with another?

Transform

The second and the third are on parallel tracks

Never meant to cross paths though they're so similar

Intersect

The first line and second meet in the middle

Finally the angle is right

How far do the domains stretch?

Can I be equal to you?

I know you're greater than me

Imaginary

The equations aren't making sense anymore

The numbers not adding up

We're out of this positive quadrant

Uncertain and imaginary numbers

Fail

I was never good with math

A few minor miscalculations threw the entire equation off

But there's no makeup tests for real life
