Question:
Find the value of k for which each of the following system of equations have no solution :
$3 x-4 y+7=0$
$k x+3 y-5=0$
Solution:
GIVEN:
$3 x-4 y+7=0$
$k x+3 y-5=0$
To find: To determine for what value of k the system of equation has no solution
We know that the system of equations
$a_{1} x+b_{1} y=c_{1}$
$a_{2} x+b_{2} y=c_{2}$
For no solution
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
Here,
$\frac{3}{k}=\frac{-4}{3} \neq \frac{-7}{5}$
$\frac{3}{k}=\frac{-4}{3}$
$k=\frac{-9}{4}$
Hence for $k=\frac{-9}{4}$ the system of equation has no solution.
