To identify the value of \( k \) in the transformation from the original ordered pair \((8, 2)\) to the transformed pair \((2, 2)\), we can analyze the change in the x-coordinate, as the y-coordinate remains the same.

The transformation appears to involve scaling the x-coordinate. The original x-coordinate is \( 8 \) and the transformed x-coordinate is \( 2 \).

To find the scaling factor \( k \), we can use the following relationship:

\[
\text{Transformed x} = k \times \text{Original x}
\]

Substituting the known values:

\[
2 = k \times 8
\]

To solve for \( k \), divide both sides by \( 8 \):

\[
k = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Thus, the value of \( k \) is \( \frac{1}{4} \).

Let's re-evaluate the transformation from the ordered pair \((8, 2)\) to the ordered pair \((2, 2)\).

We see that the change in the x-coordinate suggests that a transformation may be involved, possibly involving scaling or translation.

1. **Original Ordered Pair:** \((8, 2)\)
2. **Transformed Ordered Pair:** \((2, 2)\)

Since the y-coordinate does not change (it remains 2), we can focus solely on the change of the x-coordinate.

### Analyzing the Transformation:
- Original x-coordinate: \(8\)
- Transformed x-coordinate: \(2\)

Now, we can express how the x-coordinate was transformed:

\[
\text{Transformed } x = k \cdot \text{Original } x
\]

Based on the values:

\[
2 = k \cdot 8
\]

To solve for \( k \):

\[
k = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

This matches our previous calculation. However, if there was another specific transformation you had in mind, please clarify so I can provide the correct interpretation! If, on the other hand, you meant a different type of transformation like translation or reflection, please provide additional context.

My apologies for any confusion earlier. Let's reassess the transformation from the point \((8, 2)\) to \((2, 2)\) with the assumption that the x-coordinate transformation is simply being derived from a difference instead of scaling.

### Given Points:
- Original Point: \((8, 2)\)
- Transformed Point: \((2, 2)\)

### Analyzing the x-coordinate:
To go from \(8\) to \(2\), we observe the difference:

1. **Change in x-coordinate**:
\[
8 - 6 = 2
\]
This indicates that the x-coordinate has decreased by \(6\).

If we assume \(k\) involves this difference in some manner, we could assert that:

\[
8 - k = 2
\]

To solve for \(k\):

\[
k = 8 - 2 = 6
\]

However, if \( k \) itself relates to a different scaling factor not previously considered, could you clarify how you're arriving at \(4\)? For example, if you meant something like an average scale factor over two dimensions or a specific operation different than what I've processed, I'm here to help clarify!

If we take the approach that you mentioned that the answer is \(4\), perhaps you are considering a different method of transformation. Thank you for your patience, and please guide me further on the nature of \(k\) as you understand it!
