For what value of k do the equations 3x - y + 8 = 0 and 6x - 4y = -16 represent coincident lines?
Answers
Correct Question :-
For what value of K for the equation 3x - y + 8 = 0 and 6x - ky = -16 represent coincident lines.
Understanding Concept :-
Linear equation is a equation which have highest power of degree is 1.and this equation can be represented as ax + bx + c = 0
For finding the types of line formed by quadratic equation are as follows :-
● a1x + b1x + c1 = 0
● a2x + b2x + c2 = 0
Now, Compare the values
if,
● a1 /a2 ≠ b1/b2 then it forms intersecting lines
● a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 then it forms coincident lines
● a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2 then it forms parallel lines
Solution :-
Here,
Two equations are given
● 3x - y + 8 = 0
● 6x - ky + 16 = 0
Compare the given equation with
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
Now, Condition for coincident lines
a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
Here,
a1 = 3 , b1 = -1 , c1 = 8
and
a2 = 6 , b2 = -k , c2 = 16
Therefore,
3/6 = -1/-k = 8/16
1/2 = 1/k = 1/2
1/k = 1/2
k = 2
Hence, The value of K = 2
