Answer:
k = 15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
a1/a2 = b1/b2 That means the line is a parallel.
Therefore, a1 = 3 a2= 2 b1= 2k b2= 5
Therefore, 3/2 = 2k/5
Therefore, 3 x 5 x 1/2 = 2k (Solve this step or just write in notebook so you will understand well)
Therefore, 15/2 = 2k
Therefore, 15/2 x 1/2 = k (Solve this step or just write in notebook so you will understand well)
Therefore, k = 15/4
