Answer
$12\gt k$
Work Step by Step
$8\gt\frac{2}{3}k\longrightarrow$ multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$
$8\times\frac{3}{2}\gt\frac{2}{3}k\times\frac{3}{2}\longrightarrow$ multiply
$12\gt k$
Check the inequality.
$8\overset?\gt\frac{2}{3}(9)$
$8\gt6\checkmark$
Since 12 is not included in the solution, the endpoint of the graph is an open circle.
