Show that the equations 9x - 10y = 21, have infinitely many solutions.
Given: 9x - 10y = 21,
To Prove: The given equations have infinitely many solutions.
Proof:
We know that the general form for a pair of linear equations in 2 variables x and y is a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0.
Comparing with above equations,
we have a1 = 9,
b1 = - 10,
c1 = - 21;
a2 = 3/2 ,
b2 = - 5/3
c2 = - 7/2
Since
The lines are coincident.
The given equations have infinitely many solutions.
