Question

The linear equation 2x – 5y = 7 has

A. A unique solution

B. Two solutions

C. Infinitely many solutions

D. No solution

Answer 1

C. Infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

Expressing y in terms of x in the equation 2x – 5y = 7, we get,

2x – 5y = 7

– 5y = 7 – 2x

y = ( 7 – 2x)/– 5

Hence, we can conclude that the value of y will be different for different values of x.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
