Determine the value of k in wch the following system of equation has a unique solution 2x-3y=1 kx+5y=7
Answers
kx+5y-7=0
Here
a1=2, b1=-3, c1=-1
a2=k, b1=5,c1=-7
For unique solution
a1/a2≠b1/b2
Now
2/k≠-3/5
-3k≠10
k≠-10/3
Answer:
Question :- Find value of k for which the pair of equations 2x-3y=1 and kx-5y=7 has a unique solution.. ?
Concept used :-
A linear equation in two variables represents a straight line in 2D Cartesian plane .
If we consider two linear equations in two variables, say ;
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
Then ;
✪ Both the straight lines will coincide if ;
a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
In this case , the system will have infinitely many solutions.
✪ Both the straight lines will be parallel if ;
a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
In this case , the system will have no solution.
✪ Both the straight lines will intersect if ;
a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2
In this case , the system will have an unique solution.

Solution :-
⇛2x -3y = 1
→ 2x - 3y - 1 = a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
and ,
→ kx - 5y - 7 = a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
From this we get,
→ a1 = 2, b1 = (-3)
→ a2 = k , b2 = (-5)
Since , The Equations has a unique solution ,
ᴛʜᴇɴ,
→ a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2
putting values we get,
→ 2/(-3) ≠ k/(-5)
→ 2/3 ≠ k/5 ( -ve will cancel)
→ 10 ≠ 3k
→ k ≠ 10/3
Hence, value of k will be except 10/3 , than the Equations will intersect and have an unique solution .
