\end{figure} The region \(R _ { 1 }\), shown shaded in Figure 2, is defined by the inequalities $$0 \leqslant y \leqslant 2 \quad y \leqslant 10 - 2 x \quad y \leqslant k x$$ where \(k\) is a constant.
The line \(x = a\), where \(a\) is a constant, passes through the intersection of the lines \(y = 2\) and \(y = k x\)
Given that the area of \(R _ { 1 }\) is \(\frac { 27 } { 4 }\) square units,
  1. find
    1. the value of \(a\)
    2. the value of \(k\)
  2. Define the region \(R _ { 2 }\), also shown shaded in Figure 2, using inequalities.
