To solve the equation \(2k + 9 = 7 - 3k\), we can follow these steps:

1. **Combine like terms**:
First, let's move all the terms involving \(k\) to one side and the constant terms to the other side.

\(2k + 3k = 7 - 9\)

This simplifies to:

\(5k = -2\)

2. **Solve for \(k\)**:
Now, divide both sides by 5:

\(k = -\frac{2}{5}\)

Which is the same as:

\(k = -0.4\)

Thus, the correct answer is:
**k equals negative 0.4**.
