Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute the point (2,-1) into the given equation 5x+ky=12. The first number is 2, the x-value. The second number is -1, the y-value.

5x + ky = 12

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

2. Simplify

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

10 + (-k) = 12

10 - k = 12

2. Isolate k

10 - k = 12

-k = 12-10

-k = 2   <= here multiply both sides by (-1)

k = -2

I'm not to sure if I know the other ones but number 12th Is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two lines intersect at point Q(x,y) the x & y values of both lines must be equal at point Q. so 3x+14=7x-10. Solving for x yields x = 6.
