  1. A circle \(C\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 6 k x - 2 k y + 7 = 0$$ where \(k\) is a constant.
  1. Find in terms of \(k\),
    1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\)
    2. the radius of \(C\) The line with equation \(y = 2 x - 1\) intersects \(C\) at 2 distinct points.
  2. Find the range of possible values of \(k\).
