The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( k \) such that the line given by the equation \( 2x - \frac{y}{3} = 7 \) passes through the point \( (k, 6) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Substitute the point into the equation Since the point \( (k, 6) \) lies on the line, we can substitute \( x = k \) and \( y = 6 \) into the equation of the line. \[ 2k - \frac{6}{3} = 7 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the left side of the equation. We know that \( \frac{6}{3} = 2 \), so we can rewrite the equation as: \[ 2k - 2 = 7 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( k \) Next, we will isolate \( k \) by adding 2 to both sides of the equation: \[ 2k = 7 + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2k = 9 \] Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{9}{2} \] ### Final Answer The value of \( k \) is \( \frac{9}{2} \). ---
