K is the slope of the line formed by connecting the points.
Use slope formula:
where the 2 points are the end points of the line (First and last going Left to right)
Substitute into slope formula
You can check if this is correct by going back to graph and going "up 7" and "over 2" to get from one point to the next.

The length is 10.
Since the two points share the same y-coordinate, the segment rt is horizontal.
This means that the length of the side is simply the difference (in absolute value) between the x coordinates of the two points.
So, we have
