Answer:
k = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the answer to this question by using the slope equation:
[tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]
Let's define some variables:
[tex]\frac{k - 7}{-7-(-8)} = \frac{k-7}{1} = k- 7[/tex]
We know the slope is -7 so we can put k-7 equal to it and solve
[tex]k-7 = -7\\k = 0[/tex]
We find that k is equal to 0.
I hope this helps!!
