To solve for k, just plug in the x provided:

12^2 - k(12) - 36 = 0

144 - k(12) = 36

-k(12) = 1/4

k = -1/48

Write the standard form of the equation of a line if the point on the line nearest to the origin is at (6, 8).

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{3}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the origin has an equation y = mx

m - slope

The formula of a slope of a line passes through the origin

and a point (x, y):

$m=\dfrac{y}{x}$

We have the point (6, 8). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Finally:

$y=\dfrac{4}{3}x$
