  1. What are Lattice Points?


  2. Which points in x-y planes are Lattice Points?



    Is (m,n) a lattice point where m,n are any integers?

          No, that's not accurate. The points $(m,n)inBbb Z^2$ are a lattice, but they are not the only lattice in $Bbb R^2$, consider the sets:



          $$(a,bsqrt 2): a,binBbb Z,quad leftleft(a+bover 2, bsqrt3over 2right): a,binBbb Zrighttag$*$$$



          These are also a lattices.



          Generally a lattice in $Bbb R^2$ is a $Bbb Z$ module of rank $2$ which contains a basis for $Bbb R^2$.



          As Cameron notes, this just means that you have integer combinations of two $Bbb R$-linearly independent vectors from $Bbb R^2$ (it's important that they be linearly independent over $Bbb R$ and not something like $Bbb Q$)

            Or in perhaps friendlier terms: given two linearly independent vectors in $mathbbR^2$, a lattice is all integer linear combinations of these vectors.

          That is correct. The term "lattice points" usually refers to the points with integer coordinates.

            About your $6x+8y=25$: Your book is probably talking about the integer lattice, the points with integer coordinates. If $x$ and $y$ are integers, then $6x+8y$ is even, so cannot be $25$. The line does not pass through any points $(x,y)$ of the integer lattice.
