Hi, kindly advise the working solution for this question, thanks
Nice to hear from you again.

I have also derived the same answer but the answer key says the answer should be y = 1/3x + 5/6. Another tutor, Mr Muhammad has also advised me the same answer as us. Now I seriously think that the answer sheet could be wrong.
Gradient: 1/3
Horizontal (xy) - axis: 6
Y = mX + c
Y = 1/3 X + c
Since the horizontal intercept is 6,
Y = 0 when X = 6
0 = 1/3 (6) + c
0 = 2 + c
-2 = c
So, we have
Y = 1/3 X - 2
Since Y = x^2 and X = xy,
x^2 = 1/3 xy - 2
1/3 xy = x^2 + 2
xy = 3x^2 + 6
y = 3x + 6/x
It’s different from what we would have done in the correct order, but the given answer is definitely incorrect.
I fully agreed with you and your working solution :)
Really appreciate your effort to assure me with the right working solution.
Once again thank you so much and take care :)
