Right triangle from axes

A line segment has its ends on the coordinate axes and forms with them a triangle of area equal to 36 square units. The segment passes through the point ( 5,2). What is the slope of the line segment?

Correct result:

k1 =  -0.0149
k2 =  -10.7051

Solution:

Our quadratic equation calculator calculates it.

${k}_{2}=-\frac{{b}_{2}}{{a}_{2}}=-\frac{27.7626}{2.5934}=-10.7051$
