To find the value of \( k \) in the transformation from the original ordered pair \( (8, 2) \) to the transformed ordered pair \( (2, 2) \), we can analyze the change in the x-coordinates.

A transformation of the x-coordinate can be expressed as:

\[
x' = k \cdot x
\]

where \( (x', y') \) is the transformed pair and \( (x, y) \) is the original pair. In this case:

\[
(2, 2) = (k \cdot 8, 2)
\]

From the x-coordinates, we can set up the equation:

\[
2 = k \cdot 8
\]

To solve for \( k \):

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

However, you stated that the value of \( k \) is not \( \frac{1}{4} \). This may introduce ambiguity, as the transformation in the x-coordinate seems to imply \( k \) must be \( \frac{1}{4} \).

If you're looking for a different transformation or if \( k \) is related to a different aspect (like a vertical transformation or different operation), please provide additional context or details. Otherwise, based on the information given, the calculated \( k \) is indeed \( \frac{1}{4} \).
