For what value of “m” will the pair of linear equations 2x+3y=7 and mx+9/2 y=12,has no solution
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
TO FIND:-
The value of m of two equations that had no solution.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT:-
According to the question,
Has no solution means that the lines are in parallel.
So, We can find the value of m by dividing both the equations.
CONCEPT REFRESHER:-
In 1st equation,
2x + 3y - 7 = 0
a1 = 2
b1 = 3
c1 = -7
In 2nd equation,
mx + 9/2y -12 = 0
a2 = m
b2 = 9/2
c2 = -12
REQUIRED ANSWER:-
Divide a1 and a2, b1 and b2, c1 and c2.
So,
a1 ÷ a2 = 2m
b1 ÷ b2 = 3 ÷ 9/2
c1 ÷ c2 = -7/-12
Therefore, Value of m = 3 as a1/a2 = b1/b2
Value of "m" = 3
In 1st equation,
2x + 3y - 7 = 0
a1 = 2
b1 = 3
c1 = -7
