On comparing the ratios a1a2, b1b2, and c1c2, find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent.
(i) 3x + 2y = 5 ; 2x – 3y = 7
(ii) 2x – 3y = 8 ; 4x – 6y = 9
(i) Given : 3x + 2y = 5 or 3x + 2y -5 = 0
Given : 3x + 2y = 5 or 3x + 2y -5 = 0and 2x – 3y = 7 or 2x – 3y -7 = 0
Comparing these equations with a1x + b1y + c1=0
And a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
We get,
a1=3, b1= 2, c1= -5
a2=2, b2=-3, c2=-7
a1/a2 = 3/2, b1/b2 = 2/-3, c1/c2 = -5/-7 = 57
Since, a1/a2≠b1/b2
So, the given equations intersect each other at one point and they have only one possible solution. The equations are consistent.
(ii) Given 2x – 3y = 8 and 4x – 6y = 9
Therefore,
a1=2, b1= -3, c1= -8
a2=4, b2=-6, c2=-9
a1/a2=2/4=1/2, b1/b2=3/6=1/2, c1/c2=8/9
Since, a1/a2=b1/b2≠c1/c2
So, the equations are parallel to each other and they have no possible solution. Hence, the equations are inconsistent.
