Find slope of line AB. Call this value M.
\n" ); document.write( "Now find \"m=-%281%2FM%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Use point-slope form for a line and with point P(4,2) and the slope m, find the equation for the line which they define.
\n" ); document.write( "Use this equation with x=2 to find the value of k.\r
