  k = -50

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction denominators are 5 and 10. The least common multiple of those values is 10. This means we can eliminate fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10:

  6k -50 = 7k

Subtracting 6k from both sides of the equation leaves you with the solution:

  -50 = k

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
