Given:
Line A goes through (0,y) and (-2,0).
Line B goes through (1,2) and (3,10).
To find:
The value of y for which the system of given linear equation (equation of line A and line B) has no solutions.
Solution:
Two linear equation has no solutions if they are parallel line.
Slope formula:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We know that the slopes of two parallel lines are the same.
So, the given system of given linear equation has no solutions if
Slope of line A = Slope of line B
[tex]\dfrac{0-y}{-2-0}=\dfrac{10-2}{3-1}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{-y}{-2}=\dfrac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{y}{2}=4[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2.
[tex]\dfrac{y}{2}\times 2=4\times 2[/tex]
[tex]y=8[/tex]
Therefore, the required value of y is 8.
