Solution

The correct option is C $k = \frac{- 10}{17}$
Let us simplify the given algebraic expression $- 13 k - 4 k - 8 - 2$ by equating it to $0$ to find the value of $k$ as shown below:

$- 13 k - 4 k - 8 - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow (- 13 k - 4 k) + (- 8 - 2) = 0 \Rightarrow - 17 k - 10 = 0 \Rightarrow - 17 k = 10 \Rightarrow k = - \frac{10}{17}$

Hence, $k = - \frac{10}{17}$ .
