Find the value of k for which the system of equations
5x - 3y = 0, 2x + ky = 0 has a nonzero solution.
Given: 5x - 3y = 0 – eq 1
2x + ky = 0 – eq 2
Here,
a1 = 5, b1 = - 3, c1 = 0
a2 = 2, b2 = k, c2 = 0
Here,
Given that system of equations has non zero solution.
∴ =
=
Here,
=
5×k = - 3×2
5k = 6
K =
∴
