Answer:
hey mate
here is your answer
By the distance formula,
The distance between two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is,
d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2
Thus, the distance between (k,3)and (2,3),
d=\sqrt{(k-2)^2+(3-3)^2}
=\sqrt{(k-2)^2}
=k-2
According to the question,
k-2 = 5
⇒ k = 5 + 2 = 7
Hence, the value of k is 7.
