Default RE: Span vs area

I dont understand the concept of k, beacuse to me, the x intercept is when y or lift =0 and in the case of flat-bottom airfoils, the geometric angle of attack would have to be negative to achieve 0 lift, which means k is negatice, which doessn't make sense. I'm lost. help![&o]
P.S. what happen to all the other people on this forum?
