Answer:
k = -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines will be parallel if their slopes are equal. To find the slope of each line, write its equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). In other words, solve each equation for y and look at the coefficient of x.
2x + 3y = 4k
3y = -2x + 4k
y = (-2/3)x + 4k/3
The slope of the first line is -2/3.
x - 2ky = 7
-2ky = -x + 7
y = [1/(2k)]x - 7/(2k)
The slope of the second line is 1/(2k).
If the slopes are equal, then
1/(2k) = -2/3
Multiply by 2k.
1 = (-2/3)(2k) = (-4/3)k
1 = (-4/3)k
x = -5/3
Hope this helps!
Best of luck!♥
