Cramer's Rule breaks down when det(A) = 0. Example (a) has no solution while (b) has infinitely many solutions. What are the ratios xj = det(Bj )/det(A) in the following two cases? Bj has columns of A except the j-th column replaced with the right hand side.
(a) Parallel lines
2x + 3y = 1
4x + 6y = 1
(b) Same lines
2x + 3y = 1
4x + 6y = 2
