Question

For which value(s) of p, will the lines represented by the following pair of linear equation be parallel :
3x – y – 5 = 0 , 6x -2y –p = 0
(a) all real values except 10, (b) 10, (c) 5/2, (d) 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

a.all real values except 10

Step-by-step explanation:

using the condition for consistent or inconsistent equations,

Two pair of linear equations are said to be parallel if they follow the following condition,

a1/a2=b1/b2≠c1/c2

substitute the above values

you will get the value of p as option a
