Problem

A straight line ll passes through the origin and has slope 22. A point A(6,0)A(6,0) is fixed on the xx-axis. (i) Obtain the equation of ll. (ii) A point PP moves on ll such that the distance OPOP is equal to the distance PAPA. Find the coordinates of PP. (iii) Verify, by direct substitution, that your answer in part (ii) satisfies the required equality of distances.
