Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression can be simplified by factoring out common factors in the numerator and the denominator. Factoring 6 out of the numerator gives $6( k - 2 )$, and factoring -7 out of the denominator gives $-7( k - 2 )$. The $( k - 2 )$ terms cancel out, leaving $\frac { 6 } { -7 }$, which simplifies to $- \frac { 6 } { 7 }$.
