Hello there!
Lines are concurrent if they pass through a common point.
In order to find the value of k we have to find the value of x and y where both lines intersect.
Since, there are 3 variables (x,y and k) and we have only 2 equations. In this case, we can only find the value of k in terms of x or y.
Here is the approach:-
2x+y-1 = 0 ….eqn (1)
x-3y+k = 0 ….eqn (2)
Multiplying eqn (2) by 2 we get,
2x-6y+2k = 0 …eqn (3)
Subtracting eqn (1) from eqn (3) we get,
-7y+2k+1 = 0
From the above equation we get,
k = (7y-1)/2
Hope this answer resolves your query.
Question : Simplify the given expression. $(x - 2y)(y - 3x) + (x + y)(x - y) + (x - 3y)(2x + y)$
