(C) For the lines to be concurrent,the determinant of their coefficients must be zero:$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & -1 \ k & 2 & 1 \ 4 & 2k & 7\end{array}ight|=0$Expanding the determinant:$1(14 - 2k) - 1(7k - 4) - 1(2k^2 - 8) = 0$$14 - 2k - 7k + 4 - 2k^2 + 8 = 0$$-2k^2 - 9k + 26 = 0$$2k^2 + 9k - 26 = 0$Factoring the quadratic equation:$2k^2 + 13k - 4k - 26 = 0$$k(2k + 13) - 2(2k + 13) = 0$$(2k + 13)(k - 2) = 0$So,$k = 2$ or $k = -\frac{13}{2}$.If $k = 2$,the lines are $x+y-1=0$,$2x+2y+1=0$,and $4x+4y+7=0$. The first two lines are parallel ($x+y-1=0$ and $x+y+0.5=0$),so they cannot be concurrent.Therefore,the only valid value is $k = -\frac{13}{2}$.

If the lines $x+y-1=0$,$kx+2y+1=0$,and $4x+2ky+7=0$ are concurrent,then $k=$
