Answer:

k = 3/4

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope so first, we need to find the slope of 8x + 6 = 2y. To do so, we can do the following:

8x + 6 = 2y

2y = 8x + 6

y = 4x + 3 (This is now in slope intercept form - y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-int.)

Therefore, the slope is 4. Now, we can do:

3x = ky - 10

3x - 10 = ky

(3x / k) - (10 / k) = y

y = (3x / k) - (10 / k) (where k ≠ 0)

Now that the second line is in slope-intercept form, we can set the two x terms equal to each other, therefore:

3x / k = 4x

3x = 4x * k

3x / 4x = k

k = 3/4
