The system of linear equations in real $\left ( x,y \right )$ given by $\left ( x \: y \right )\begin{bmatrix} 2 &5 - 2 \alpha \\ \alpha & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \left ( 0\:0 \right )$ involves a real parameter $\alpha$ and has infinitely many non-trivial solutions for special value(s) of $\alpha$. Which one or ... value(s) of $\alpha$? $x = 2, y = -2$ $x = -1, y = 4$ $x = 1, y = 1$ $x = 4, y = -2$
