A curve has equation \(y = kx^2 + 1\) and a line has equation \(y = kx\), where \(k\) is a non-zero constant.

(i) Find the set of values of \(k\) for which the curve and the line have no common points. [3]

(ii) State the value of \(k\) for which the line is a tangent to the curve and, for this case, find the coordinates of the point where the line touches the curve. [4]
