For what value of kk will the system 3xy=43x - y = 4 and 6xky=86x - ky = 8 have infinitely many solutions?

A

22

B

2-2

C

11

D

66

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Coincident lines.

  1. Compare: Equation 2 should be a multiple of Equation 1.
  2. Ratio: 6x/3x=26x / 3x = 2. The multiplier is 2.
  3. Apply: Multiply the y-term of Eq 1 by 2: (1)×2=2(-1) \times 2 = -2.
  4. Match: The y-term in Eq 2 is k-k. So k=2k=2-k = -2 \rightarrow k = 2.

💡 Strategic Tip: For infinite solutions, A1/A2=B1/B2=C1/C2A_1/A_2 = B_1/B_2 = C_1/C_2.

Choice B is incorrect because sign error. Choice C is incorrect.Choice D is incorrect.
