The k2 attribute defines one of the values to be used within the arithmetic operation of the {{SVGElement("feComposite")}} filter primitive.
The pixel composition is computed using the following formula:
result = k1 * i1 * i2 + k2 * i1 + k3 * i2 + k4;
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
html,
body,
svg {
height: 100%;
}
<svg viewBox="0 0 420 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="composite1" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<feComposite
in2="SourceGraphic"
operator="arithmetic"
k1="1"
k2="1"
k3="0"
k4="0" />
</filter>
<filter id="composite2" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<feComposite
in2="SourceGraphic"
operator="arithmetic"
k1="1"
k2="10"
k3="0"
k4="0" />
</filter>
