The correct Answer is:
To determine the value(s) of \( p \) for which the lines represented by the equations \( 3x - y - 5 = 0 \) and \( 6x - 2y - p = 0 \) are parallel, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The first equation can be rewritten in the standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): - For the first equation \( 3x - y - 5 = 0 \): - \( A_1 = 3 \) - \( B_1 = -1 \) - \( C_1 = -5 \) The second equation is: - For the second equation \( 6x - 2y - p = 0 \): - \( A_2 = 6 \) - \( B_2 = -2 \) - \( C_2 = -p \) ### Step 2: Use the condition for parallel lines For two lines to be parallel, the following condition must hold: \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{B_1}{B_2} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{A_1}{A_2} \neq \frac{C_1}{C_2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the ratios First, we calculate \( \frac{A_1}{A_2} \) and \( \frac{B_1}{B_2} \): \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2} \] Since both ratios are equal, we can conclude that the lines are parallel if the third condition is satisfied. ### Step 4: Set up the inequality for \( C \) Now we need to ensure that: \[ \frac{C_1}{C_2} \neq \frac{1}{2} \] Substituting the values of \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \): \[ \frac{-5}{-p} \neq \frac{1}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{5}{p} \neq \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Solve the inequality Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 5 \cdot 2 \neq p \implies 10 \neq p \] ### Conclusion Thus, the lines represented by the equations will be parallel for all values of \( p \) except \( 10 \). ### Final Answer The value(s) of \( p \) for which the lines are parallel is: \[ p \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{10\} \]

To determine the value(s) of \( p \) for which the lines represented by the equations \( 3x - y - 5 = 0 \) and \( 6x - 2y - p = 0 \) are parallel, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The first equation can be rewritten in the standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): - For the first equation \( 3x - y - 5 = 0 \): - \( A_1 = 3 \) - \( B_1 = -1 \) - \( C_1 = -5 \) ...
