Question

8. Find the value of k, if (1-1) is a solution of the equation 3x-ky =8. Also, find the coordinates of

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 5 and (6,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (1,-1) is a solution of the equation 3x - ky = 8, so the point (1,-1) will satisfy the equation above.

Hence, putting x = 1 and y = -1 in the equation will give left-hand side = right-hand side.

So, 3(1) - k(-1) = 8

⇒ 3 + k = 8

⇒ k = 5 (Answer)

Therefore, the equation of the straight line is 3x - 5y = 8 ....... (1)

Now, putting x = 6 , then from equation (1) we get y = 2

Therefore, (6,2) is also a point on the graph of equation (1). (Answer)
