Step 1.1

The determinant of a $2 \times 2$ matrix can be found using the formula $| \begin{array}{c} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} | = a d - c b$ .

$9 \cdot 0 + 0 \cdot 7$

Step 1.2.1.1

Multiply $9$ by $0$ .

$0 + 0 \cdot 7$

Step 1.2.1.2

Multiply $0$ by $7$ .

$0 + 0$

Step 1.2.2

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$0$

Step 2

There is no inverse because the determinant is $0$ .
