Step-by-step explanation:

Both functions are lines. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:


f(x)=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

For function f(x) the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -1.

For function g(x) the slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is -3.

It is clear that the slope of function g(x) is three times the slope of function f(x). Also, the y-intercept of g(x) is three times the y-intercept of f(x). Therefore the constant k is 3

Answer:

k = 3
