Consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence differ by a constant d. So

5k-1=2k+d
6k+2=5k-1+d
\implies\begin{cases}3k-d=1\\k-d=-3\end{cases}\implies k=2,d=5

Denote the n-th term in the sequence by a_n. Now that a_1=2, we have

a_n=a_{n-1}+5=a_{n-2}+2\cdot5=\cdots=a_1+(n-1)\cdot5

which means

a_8=2+(8-1)\cdot5=37
