The correct Answer is:
To determine the value of \( k \) for which the system of equations 1. \( 3x + ky = 1 \) 2. \( 6x + 3y = 2 \) has infinite solutions, we need to analyze the conditions under which two linear equations represent the same line. This occurs when the equations are proportional to each other. ### Step-by-step Solution: **Step 1: Rewrite the second equation.** We start with the second equation \( 6x + 3y = 2 \). We can simplify this by dividing the entire equation by 2: \[ \frac{6x}{2} + \frac{3y}{2} = \frac{2}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ 3x + \frac{3}{2}y = 1 \] **Step 2: Compare the two equations.** Now we have two equations: 1. \( 3x + ky = 1 \) 2. \( 3x + \frac{3}{2}y = 1 \) For these two equations to represent the same line, the coefficients of \( y \) must be equal. Thus, we set: \[ k = \frac{3}{2} \] **Step 3: Conclusion.** The value of \( k \) that allows the system to have infinite solutions is: \[ \boxed{\frac{3}{2}} \]
