Question

Check each of the given systems of equations to see if it has a unique solution, infinitely solutions or no solution.
2x + 3y = 1
3x – y = 7 solutions of the system

Unique solution
Infinite solutions
No solution
None of the above

hint Hint:

Check for one of the three conditions
$fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space c o i n c i d e n t space i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space p a r a l l e l space e l s e space i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space i n t e r s e c t i n g space$

The correct answer is: Unique solution

Given lines are
2x + 3y = 1
3x – y = 7 solutions of the system
Check for their solution
use relation
$fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space c o i n c i d e n t space i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space p a r a l l e l space e l s e space i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space i n t e r s e c t i n g space$
Step 1 :
Checking relation
$2 over 3 space not equal to fraction numerator 3 over denominator negative 1 end fraction not equal to 1 over 7$
step 2 :
so , it satisfies the condition of intersection which is 3rd condition
SO , GIVEN lines have exactly one solution because they intersect at one point
