Find the value of m where $k$, for which the system of equations $kx−y=2$ and $6x−2y=3$ has a unique solution.


Given: Equations $kx−y=2$ and $6x−2y=3$

To do: To find the value of m where $k$ for the unique solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

Given system of equations are

$6x - 2y = 3$

$6x - 2y - 3 = 0 ----( 1 )

$kx - y = 2$

$kx - y - 2 = 0 ----( 2 )$

Compare above equations with

$a1 x + b1 y + c1 = 0$ and

$a2 x + b2 y + c2 = 0$ , we get

$a_1=6,\ b_1=-2,\ c_1=-3$ ;

$a_2=k,\ b_2=-1,\ c_2=-2$ ;

Now ,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}\
eq \frac{b_1}{b_2}$ [ Given they have Unique solution ]

$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{k}\
eq\frac{( -2)}{( -1)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{k}\
eq{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{k}{6}\
eq\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow k\
eq \frac{6}{2}$

$\Rightarrow k\
eq 3$

Therefore , For all real values of $k$ , except $k\
eq3$, given system of equations have unique solution.
