Answer:

k= -3

Explanation:

Since we know the line will go through the point (2,-2), we can plug these values into our x,y variables to solve for k. Our 2 is the x-value and our -2 is the y-value.

y = kx+4

-2 = k(2)+4

To get k by itself, we first have to subtract the 4 from both sides.

-2-4 = k(2)+4-4

-6 = k(2)

Then, we can divide each side by the 2 to get our answer.

-6/2 = k(2)/2

k = -3
