5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-1 + 1.4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1.4k + 1 + k2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + 1.4k + k2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 1.4k + k2 = 0 + 1
1.4k + k2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
1.4k + k2 = 1

The k term is 1.4k.  Take half its coefficient (0.7).
