Answer:
-1
Explanation:
To find the slope, I'm going to line up the points and subtract.
I will then put 2nd difference over first difference.
( -3 , 2k)
-( k , 6)
-----------------
-3-k , 2k-6
So the slope in terms of k is:
.
We are also given the slope is 4 or 4/1.
This means we have the following equation to solve for k such that the slope is 4:

Cross multiply:

Distribute:

Add 4k on both sides:

Add 6 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 6:

So k has to have a value of -1 for the slope to be 4.
Let's check:
(-3,-2)
(-1,6)
--------Subtracting
-2,-8
So -8/-2 is 4.
The check is good and the value for k as -1 as been verified.
