Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2007

If the lines 2y - kx + 2 = 0 and y + x - (\frac{k}{2}) = 0 intersect at (1, 2), find the value of k

A
-2
B
-4
C
-1
D
-3
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A

2y - kx + 2 = 0, @ x = 1, y = -2

2(-2) - k(1) + 2 = 0

-4 - k + 2 = 0

k = -2

Or y + x - (\frac{k}{2}) = 0, @ x= 1, y = -2

-2 + 1 - (\frac{k}{2}) = 0

-1 = (\frac{k}{2})

k = -1 x 2

= -2
