Find the value of $k$ for which the following system of equations having infinitely many solution:
$kx\ –\ 2y\ +\ 6\ =\ 0$
$4x\ –\ 3y\ +\ 9\ =\ 0$


Given: The given equation are $kx\ –\ 2y\ +\ 6\ =\ 0$ ;$4x\ –\ 3y\ +\ 9\ =\ 0$

To do: â€ŠFind the value of $k$ for which the following system of equations having infinitely many solutions.


Solution:

The given system of equation is:

$kx\ –\ 2y\ +\ 6\ =\ 0$


$4x\ –\ 3y\ +\ 9\ =\ 0$

The system of equation is of the form $a_{1} x+b_{1} y=c_{1}\ and\ a_{2} x+b_{2} y=c_{2}$


For the infinitely many solutions there is a condition

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \ =\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} =\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} \ $

$\frac{k}{4}  =\frac{2}{3} =\frac{6}{9} \ $

Now ,  $\frac{k}{4}  =\frac{2}{3}$

$\Rightarrow k\times3 = 4\times2$

$\Rightarrow 3k = 8$

$\Rightarrow k = \frac{3}{8}$

Hence, the  system of equations having infinitely many solutions if $k =\frac{3}{8}$
