Answer:
k = 11, if I understand the question.
Explanation:
Please rephrase the question if my interpretation is incorrect. (BTW, isn't (k,9) a dog?)
======================
I'll assume that we want to find the value of k as given by the equation of a line that has a slope of (1/2).
Let's determine if we can establish an equation with what we know:
1. It goes through point (3,5), and
2. It has a slope of (1/2)
We'll look for a line with the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
From (2) we know y = (1/2)x + b.
We can find b by using the one known point that lies on the line (3,5). Use y = (1/2)x + b, insert the point (3,5), and solve for b:
y = (1/2)x + b
5 = (1/2)(3) + b
5 = 1.5 + b
b = 3.5
The line is y = (1/2)x + 3.5.
Now use the point (k,9):
y = (1/2)x + 3.5
9 = (1/2)k + 3.5
(1/2)k = 5.5
k = 11
The point is (11,9) so k = 9
