Question:
Find the value of k for which each of the following system of equations have no solution :
$k x-5 y=2$
$6 x+2 y=7$
Solution:
GIVEN:
$k x-5 y=2$
$6 x+2 y=7$
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,
$\frac{k}{6}=\frac{-5}{2} \neq \frac{2}{7}$
$\frac{k}{6}=\frac{-5}{2}$
$2 k=-30$
$k=-15$
Hence for $k=-15$ the system of equation have infinitely many solutions.
