Proof of the Tijdeman-Zagier Conjecture via Slope Irrationality and Term Coprimality

The Tijdeman-Zagier conjecture states no integer solution exists for $A^X+B^Y=C^Z$ with positive integer bases and integer exponents greater than 2 unless gcd$(A,B,C)>1$. Any set of values that satisfy the conjecture correspond to a lattice point on a Cartesian graph which subtends a line in multi-dimensional space with the origin. Properties of the slopes of these lines in each plane are established as a function of coprimality of terms, such as irrationality, which enable us to explicitly prove the conjecture by contradiction.
