A straight line passes through the point P(-1, 3). Another line which passes through Q(-4, 4) intersects the first line at the point R(k, 5), where k is a constant. If \(<PRQ = 90°\), find the values of k.

The table shows the distribution of marks obtained by some candidates in a test.
Marks | 10-14 | 15-24 | 25-29 | 30-39 | 40-44 | 45-49 |
No of candidates | 14 | 30 | 22 | 18 | 12 | 4 |
Draw a histogram for the distribution.
