The correct answer is: 0 and 2
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{kx}^2+\mathrm{xy}-\mathrm{y}^2=0 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{k}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}\right)-\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)^2=0
\end{aligned}
$$
Slope of line is \pm 1
$$
\therefore \mathrm{k}+1-1=0 \text { or } \mathrm{k}-1-1=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=0,2
$$
