The correct Answer is:
To determine the value of \( k \) for which the system of equations has no solution, we need to analyze the given equations: 1. **First Equation**: \( 4x + 6y = 12 \) 2. **Second Equation**: \( y = 80 - kx \) ### Step 1: Convert the first equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) To convert the first equation into the slope-intercept form, we need to isolate \( y \): \[ 6y = 12 - 4x \] Now, divide every term by 6: \[ y = -\frac{4}{6}x + 2 \] Simplifying the slope: \[ y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2 \] ### Step 2: Identify the slope of the first equation From the equation \( y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2 \), we can see that the slope (m) of the first equation is: \[ m_1 = -\frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 3: Identify the slope of the second equation The second equation is already in slope-intercept form: \[ y = 80 - kx \] Here, the slope (m) of the second equation is: \[ m_2 = -k \] ### Step 4: Set the slopes equal for parallel lines For the system of equations to have no solution, the lines must be parallel. This occurs when their slopes are equal: \[ -\frac{2}{3} = -k \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( k \) To find \( k \), we can multiply both sides by -1: \[ \frac{2}{3} = k \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( k \) for which the system of equations has no solution is: \[ \boxed{\frac{2}{3}} \] ---
