-5x-4y=2a 4x-5y=2 which of the following choices of A will results in a system of linear equations with exactly one solution​

Sagot :

Answer:

           Any of them.

         a ∈ R

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 4y = 2a                         4x - 5y = 2

-4y = 5x + 2a                        -5y = -4x + 2

y = (5x + 2a):(-4)                    y = (-4x + 2):(-5)

y = -⁵/₄x - ¹/₂a                           y = ⁴/₅x - ²/₅

m₁ = -⁵/₄,  b₁ = -¹/₂a                  m₂=⁴/₅,  b₂= -²/₅

               -⁵/₄ ≠ ⁴/₅

Different slopes means that two lines have one point of intercept (no mater what the b's are). That means that the system of linear equations has exactly one solution for any value of a.
