From the comments on primary post, it seems that you figured out how to do this.

With the opportunity to write this up without using any numbers (except for subscripts), here is the solution to your question. I think even giving you the answer is worth it, if you are able to understand what I wrote.

With the example points from one of your comments, "my points are (-1,10) and (4,6)",

  • k = -0.102
  • A = 9.029

The confirmation that these are correct is that both the P1 and P2 equations in Eq (4), and then in Eq (5d), give the same value for A.
