For the following system of equation determine the value of $k$ for which the given system has no solution:.$2x-ky+3=0$ and $3x+2y-1=0$.


Given: The system of equations: $2x-ky+3=0$ and $3x+2y-1=0$.

To do: To determine the value of $k$ for which the given system has no solution.

Solution: 

The given system of equation: $2x-ky+3=0$ and $3x+2y-1=0$.

Here, $a_1=2,\ b_1=-k,\ c_1=3$ and $a_2=3,\ b_2=2,\ c_2=-1$

For no solution, $\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}≠\frac{c_1}{c_2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}=\frac{-k}{2}$

$\Rightarrow -3k=4$

$\Rightarrow k=-\frac{4}{3}$

Thus, for $k=-\frac{4}{3}$, the given system of equations has no solution.
