Answer:

  • k = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

  • Given equations: y = 2x + 2 and y = 5x/2 + k
  • Given intersection point: (2,6)

P.S, I solved this problem graphically. If you have any problems, please write them in the comments.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of k (y-intercept of 2nd line), we will need to draw a graph. Please check out the uploaded graph. In the graph, it tells us that the y-intercept of 2nd line is 1.

Hence, the value of k is 1.
