A rectangular hyperbola has parametric equations x = 4t, y = 4/t , (z non 0). Points P and Q on this hyperbola have parameters t = 1/4 and t = 2. Find the equation of the line l which passes through the origin and is perpendicular to the line PQ.

Since we are told that the line l is perpendicular to the line PQ, we first need to find out the gradient of PQ.
To do this, it is easiest to find out the co-ordinates of points P and Q in terms of...
