Answer
Steps of construction :
Plot the points (4, 0) and (0, 3) on graph.
Connect the points through a straight line.
Take a point Q (y = 1.5) and draw a line parallel to x-axis touching the graph at point R.
From point R draw a line parallel to y-axis and touching x-axis at point S (x = 2).
From graph R = (2, 1.5)
Comparing point R with (k, 1.5), we get :
k = 2.
Hence, the value of k = 2.
