SOLUTION: I cannot figure out how to work this problem: Find the value of k so that the slope of the line is 3/2. (2+k)x+(2-k)y=15 . Any help would be greatly appriciated.

given (2+k)x+(2-k)y=15 we can rewrite it as
(2-k)y = -(2+k)x + 15
-->

in this form, the coefficient of the x-term is the gradient, so

is 3/2

-4-2k = 6-3k
-4+k = 6
k = 10
