Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
12x - 16 = 68
Add 16 to each side
12x - 16+16 = 68+16
12x =84
Divide by 12
12x/12 = 84/12
x = 7
Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.
The point nearest the origin is (a,b).
The line from the origin through the point is

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


There is no P in here, you can't solve for P without a P, Or I just don't get the question.
Easy buddy...
