    k = - 3/5

    h = 10/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3x + ky + 2 = 0

    5x - y + h = 0

    Divide both sides of the first equation by 3. Divide both sides of the second equation by 5.

    x + (k/3) y + 2/3 = 0

    x - (1/5) y + h/5 = 0

    Since both equations represent the same line, the corresponding terms must be equal.

    x = x

    (k/3) y = - (1/5) y

    2/3 = h/5

    Solve the first equation for k and the second equation for h.

    k/3 = - 1/5

    k = - 3/5

    h/5 = 2/3

    h = 10/3
