If the lines 2y - kx + 2 = 0 and y + x - k/2 = 0 Intersect at (1, -2), find the value of k
A.
-4
B.
-3
C.
-2
D.
-1
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
If the point of intersection is (1, -2), it implies that x = 1 and y = -2 when the two equation are solved simultaneously.
∴ substitute x = 1 and y = -2 in any of the equations
2y - k x + 2 = 0
2(-2) - k(1) + 2 = 0
-4 - k + 2 = 0
-4 + 2 = k
-2 = k
