The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the equation \(a ^ { y } = k x\), where \(a\) and \(k\) are constants. The graph of \(y\) against \(\ln x\) is a straight line passing through the points \(( 1.03,6.36 )\) and \(( 2.58,9.00 )\), as shown in the diagram.
Find the values of \(a\) and \(k\), giving each value correct to 2 significant figures.

The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the equation \(\mathrm { a } ^ { \mathrm { y } } = \mathrm { bx }\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. The graph of \(y\) against \(\ln x\) is a straight line passing through the points ( \(0.336,1.00\) ) and ( \(1.31,1.50\) ), as shown in the diagram.
Find the values of \(a\) and \(b\). Give each value correct to the nearest integer.
