2

2-9=-7

In negative numbers, the greater number that is negative is less than the smaller negative number. For example, -9<-8. Even though 9 is a bigger number when positive, it's the opposite for negative numbers. While there can be many numbers for k like 0,1, or 2, 1 will probably be the best answer.
