If k(x1)=5x+7k(x - 1) = 5x + 7 has no solution, what is kk?

A

1

B

-5

C

5

D

0

Correct Answer: C

Choice Choice A is the correct answer.

  1. Distribute: kxk=5x+7kx - k = 5x + 7
  2. Condition: For no solution, slopes must be equal (k=5k=5) and intercepts different (keq7-k eq 7).
  3. Result: k=5k = 5 (since 5eq7-5 eq 7).

Choice Choice B is incorrect because slopes wouldn't match.

Choice Choice D is incorrect because slopes wouldn't match.

Choice Choice A is incorrect because slopes wouldn't match.
