Question:
Find the value of k for which each of the following system of equations have infinitely many solutions :
$k x-2 y+6=0$
$4 x-3 y+9=0$
Solution:
GIVEN:
$k x-2 y+6=0$
$4 x-3 y+9=0$
To find: To determine for what value of k the system of equation has infinitely many solutions
We know that the system of equations
$a_{1} x+b_{1} y=c_{1}$
$a_{2} x+b_{2} y=c_{2}$
For infinitely many solution
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
Here,
$\frac{k}{4}=\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac{6}{9}$
$\frac{k}{4}=\frac{-2}{-3}$
$k=\frac{4 \times 2}{3}$
$k=\frac{8}{3}$
Hence for $k=\frac{8}{3}$ the system of equation have infinitely many solutions.
