what would k be if 4x+ky = 8 is a line parallel to a line passing through points (6,-2) and (4,-1)?

I thought i should find the slope first so I got m= -0.5

then i put -0.5 equal to -4 over k (-4/k) because i figure y = (-4x+8)/k and then the slope would equal -4/k

but i can't get k alone to find out what it is. any ideas? thank you.

I have my BBA in General Business and have 5 years experience in healthcare accounting/finance. I will soon have this MBA in Strategic Leadership and am curious to know how marketable I am. Does this hurt me having two "general" business degrees or does it matter with my experience?

I'm a 19-year-old high-school dropout, who dreams of attending Harvard. I'm attending a local community college and maintain a 4.0 GPA. I know I need extracurricular activities, which as yet I don't have (too m)any. Now, I have a few questions: Do I still need to take the SAT and ACT? Can a 19 or 20 year old even take these tests or are they for high schoolers? Am I, because I'm transferring, less likely to be accepted than a high-school senior? Do I apply any differently than a high-school senior?

I'm not too bad at writing, so I'm not worried about the essay.

I will probably be working in Menlo Park or Berkeley...I would of course LOVE to go to UCBerkeley but I doubt they'll accept me...will finish w/an overall GPA of 3.0. If I am working for an amazing company for 3 years however, and prove my true potential (I was immature and went thru depression in college) is there any chance to still get into a top program? I prefer to stay in town.
Anyway, if you know the top say 5-10, plz let me know so I can call them individually and ask about their admissions process.
Thanks a bunch!
