Find the value of $\lambda$ if $x = -\lambda$ and $y = \frac{5}{2}$ is a solution of the equation $x + 4y - 7 = 0$.
Given:
$x = -\lambda$ and $y = \frac{5}{2}$ is a solution of the equation $x + 4y - 7 = 0$.
To do:
We have to find the value of $\lambda$.
Solution:
If $(x, y)$ is a solution of the equation $ax+by+c =0$, then it satisfies the given equation.
Therefore,
$-\lambda +4(\frac{5}{2})-7=0$
$-\lambda+10-7=0$
$-\lambda=-3$
$\lambda=3$
The value of $\lambda$ is $3$.
