Problem

Consider the function f(x)f(x) defined by the segment connecting A(−2,−3)A(-2, -3) and B(4,5)B(4, 5). A new function g(x)=f(x)+kg(x) = f(x) + k creates a segment A′B′‾\overline{A'B'}. If the perpendicular distance between the lines containing segment AB‾\overline{AB} and segment A′B′‾\overline{A'B'} is 44 units, find the two possible values of the vertical shift kk.
