Question

The number of integer oalues of m, for which the x-coordinaie of the point of intersection of the lines 3x + 4y = 9 and y = mx + 1 is also an integer

Moderate
Solution

The coordinates of the point of intersection of the given lines are

53+4m3+9m3+4m

It is given that the x-coordinate of this point is an integer

 53+4m is an integer 

 3+4m is a divisor of 5 3+4m=1,3+4m=1,3+4m=5,3+4m=5 m=1,2 3+4m=1,3+4m=5 do not  give integral values of m

Hence, there are two values of m.
