plse help me solve this sum
its a system of equations ....
you can solve it usually in 3 ways: substitution, elimination, or matrix math
since the slopes of each line are not parallel, they will always meet at one point for any value of k
what does it mean that they passes through the same point
|dw:1369754695254:dw|
they share a common point, they intersect at a single point ....
in R^2, if 2 lines are parallel, they never meet. If the are coincident, they are the same line and share all points in common. otherwise, they are not parallel and always meet at 1 point. parallel lines have the same slope ....
but i solve these equations by elimaination, subs...method, i can't get the value of k
9x+5y=k *4 4x+9y=2 *-9 36x+20y = 4k -36x -81y =-18 --------------- -61y = 4k-18 k = (18-61y)/4 --------------------------------------- 9x+5y=k *9 4x+9y=2 *-5 81x+45y=9k -20x-45y =-10 -------------- 61x =9-10k k = (9-61x)/10
i sure, the meet point of both line is the solution of that lines.
equate k with k and you produce a linear solution set with an infinite number of solutions
okay
k = (18-61y)/4 k = (9-61x)/10 (18-61y)/4 = (9-61x)/10 5(18-61y) = 2(9-61x) etc ...
but as i pointed out earlier; the slopes are not parallel: -9/5 not equal -4/9, so they will always meet at one point regardless of the value of k k = R
@amistre64 thank u sis
