6-5. Consider the surface generated by revolving a line connecting two fixed points (x₁, y₁) and (x, y2) about an axis coplanar with the two points. Find the equation of the line connecting the points such that the surface area generated by the revo- lution (i.e., the area of the surface of revolution) is a minimum
