Answer:
a = -1/3
b = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
(a - 1)x + 3y = 2
bx + (1 - 2b)y = 6
(a - 1)x + 3y = 2
=> 3y = (1-a)x + 2
=> y = (1/3)(1-a)x + 2/3
bx + (1 - 2b)y = 6
bx - 6 = (2b -1)y
=> y = (b/(2b-1)) x - 6/(2b-1)
To have infinite solutions line should have same equation
=> 2/3 = -6/(2b - 1)
=> 2b - 1 = -9
=> 2b = -8
=> b = -4
(1/3)(1-a) = b/(2b-1)
=> (2b - 1)(1-a) = 3b
=> (-9)(1-a) = -12
=> 1-a = 4/3
=> a = 1 - 4/3
=> a = -1/3
