  1. [tex]\huge\bf{{\color{indigo}{G}}{\color{maroon}{í}}{\red{v}}{\color{red}{e}}{\color{orange}{}}{\color{gold}{ñ࿐}}}[/tex]

    In 1st equation,

    2x + 3y – 7 = 0

    a1 = 2

    b1 = 3

    c1 = -7

    ____________________

    In 2nd equation,

    mx + 9/2y -12 = 0

    a2 = m

    b2 = 9/2

    c2 = -12

    [tex]\huge\bf{{\color{indigo}{A}}{\color{maroon}{ñ}}{\red{s}}{\color{red}{w}}{\color{orange}{ê}}{\color{gold}{Я࿐}}}[/tex]

    Divide a1 and a2, b1 and b2, c1 and c2.

    So,

    a1 ÷ a2 = 2m

    b1 ÷ b2 = 3 ÷ 9/2

    =[tex] \dfrac{3}{9} \times \dfrac{2}{1}[/tex]

    = [tex] \dfrac{6}{9}[/tex]

    = [tex] \dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

    c1 ÷ c2 = -7/-12

    Therefore, Value of m = 3 as a1/a2 = b1/b2

    Value of “m” = 3

  2. Step-by-step explanation:

    TO FIND:-

    The value of m of two equations that had no solution.

    UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT:-

    According to the question,

    Has no solution means that the lines are in parallel.

    So, We can find the value of m by dividing both the equations.

    CONCEPT REFRESHER:-

    In 1st equation,

    2x + 3y – 7 = 0

    a1 = 2

    b1 = 3

    c1 = -7

    In 2nd equation,

    mx + 9/2y -12 = 0

    a2 = m

    b2 = 9/2

    c2 = -12

    REQUIRED ANSWER:-

    Divide a1 and a2, b1 and b2, c1 and c2.

    So,

    a1 ÷ a2 = 2m

    b1 ÷ b2 = 3 ÷ 9/2

    [tex] = > \dfrac{3}{9} \times \dfrac{2}{1} [/tex]

    [tex] = > \dfrac{6}{9} [/tex]

    [tex] = > \dfrac{2}{3} [/tex]

    c1 ÷ c2 = -7/-12

    Therefore, Value of m = 3 as a1/a2 = b1/b2

    Value of “m” = 3
