Coincident line should have same slope. So we get the equation 3/(-1) = 6/(-k). solving above equation we get k = 2;

In order for two or more straight lines to be coincident, all the coefficients in a straight line must be a multiple of the corresponding coefficients in the other straight line. We have 6x-ky=-16 and this can be written as 6x-ky+16=0 Now 6x-ky+16=0 == A(3x-y+8=0) Equating the coefficients on both...

a1=3 , b1=-1, c1=8 and a2=6 , b2=-k , c2=16 a1/a2= 3/6=1/2 b1/b2=-1/-k= 1/k c1/c2 = 8/16 =1/2 if a1/a2=b1/b2=c1/c2 then two lines will be coincident 1/2=1/k=1/2 => 1/k=1/2 => k=2

3/6 = (-1)/(-K) = (-8)/(-16)...So k = 2 in this case.

if lines are coincident then a1/a2=b1/b2=c1/c2 3/6=-1/-k=8/16 i.e 1/2...therefore k=2

Coincident lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept. So, k=2

The value of k should be equal to 2, and thus the equations, 3x - y + 8 = 0 and 6x - ky = -16 represent coincident lines

Had Ravita scored 10 more marks in her Mathematics test out of 30 marks, 9 times these marks would have been the square of her actual marks. How many marks did she get in the test?
Let Ravita's score be x out of 30. We first form an equation based on the information provided in the question. The equation turns out to be 9(x+10)=x^2 -> x^2-9x-90=0 -> (x-15)(x+6)=0 SO, the possible...

Evaluate the product without multiplying directly: 103 x 107?
103 x 107 = (100 + 3)(100 + 7) We know that (x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab Therefore, 103 x 107 = 100^2 + (3 + 7) x 100 + 3 x 7 = 10000 + 1000 + 21 = 11021
